Original engine and clutch. Had to replace release bearing at around 240K miles. Five sets of tires since I bought it.  |
I think my van has the same motor as yours and I got better than your fe with a slipping torque converter on my auto trans and over 300k on the na motor. I'm hoping to break 30mpg tank averages with the 6 speed manual swap. Still not convinced the turbo is more efficient than na when not towing big loads.
Definition of older Diesel engine to me would be a non electronic controlled one.
