Does it have auxiliary port injection like most new GDI?

Not that I know of unfortunately. Basically a GME-T4 with 2 extra cylinders and I don't think that has aux port injection either.

Okay, but for how long?

I don’t have any personal experience with this motor, but most every other straight 6 in existence is pretty stout.

Well, if it had been a 6.7 diesel I would've understood it, but it was a 5.7 gasser that got better mileage than the Furd.

I didn't find much "Eco" in my Ecoboost F150. I don't know anyone with one of them that has found the "Eco".

I may just have found "Eco". My latest acquisition supposedly gets 3-4 mpg, and it's a diesel.

It remains to be seen if it'll dethrone the current champ, a 232 straight Six (gasser) which gets about 2 mpg. And that's after I put a new carb on it that can be adjusted. With the stock carb it got about 1 mpg.

Awesome!

What did you have to give for that if you don't mind telling me.

I ended up splurging, getting one that's all gone through and with a few changes (hardtop, tires and wheels) so it'll cost me over $30K.

Yeah, not exactly cheap, but not too bad per pound, since they weigh over 38,000. And I won't have to change the 100 gallons of hydraulic fluid, etc.

I know there are several companies that specialize in selling military vehicles and they generally go through and check/replace fluids, belts, hoses, etc.

And then there are others...........

I was on the kick for an M109 to use an all terrain camper, but changed course after they got scarce and the prices shot up through the roof.

 

[Jimmy N.]

A tank as a camper?!? Now that is an unusual idea.
Wish I'd thought of that. Then again, a friend here has some sort of tank...maybe he'd sell it?
