The 2.7L has the same HP as the 3.0 had, and isn't quite the POS the 3.0 is, altho' I'm starting to see some sludge issues slowly starting to appear as these get mileage on them.

FWIW, for me to get a 4 banger long block reworked at the local machine shop is $1500, vs. the $3000 they want for the 6 bangers. That's the issue for me down the road if I ever buy a Taco. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
