I think the 360 is a fantastic engine. You can really make some power with those....especially for towing. Unfortunately, they put those crappy 518 OD trannys behind them. If not for that, I'd most likely have gotten a 360 when I bought my truck (especially since the Hemi wasn't an option then).
Well, might as well put in my 2 cents. My wifes 99 Durango has 85K on it and have not had 1 problem. My 02 Ram also. And oh yea, change that oil every 3000k. You would be amazed how long any engine will last when you do that. Gas Mileage? Who cares, company buys my gas. LOL :gr_patrio

I was d@m proud of my old (Hog) a.k.a. 360, simple because it was my first pickup, and other than warped rotors: it never played me false or give me cause to trade it. Until my dealer screwed up my "black" paint by washing it with a coarse brush. They had to re-paint the entire truck, which was the kiss of death: because they never did get my paint right. So I'm Hemi - ing it these days, and learned to be proud of another (Hog) a.k.a. (Hemi)
No offense to the Hemi guys, but I am proud of my 360! I have heard some of you fellas complain about some of the problems the Hemis have, and it makes me feel happy I got the 5.9. You guys have more power and I do admire that about your Hemis! Also, Hemis are still relatively new and there aren't many aftermarket parts for them. I am seriously considering stroking the 360 to a 408. That would get me close you to guys! To sum it all up, I AM DAMN PROUD OF MY 360!
