Re: milage on xj
I towed a car trailer a few times with a 5.2L ZJ. With a station wagon
on the trailer, it was a bit much weight but it got down the road.
Brakes were totally inadequate and I'm sure the XJ is the same.
Moving down from a 1-ton, you'd hate it. Keep the F350 and buy a
moped.
A buddy of mine has a Dodge 2500 Diesel with mods that dynos over 1000
ft-pounds and gets better than 24mpg. My Dakota gets 12.5mpg. Go
figure.

Re: milage on xj
Some '86 AMCs had the Dana 44, but Daimler did away with that. I've
never see the Chrysler 8 1/4":

Your buddy in the diesel doesn't want to be called a fool, so he
