I know that a lot of people aren't very fond of the R6602 gas engine, but my M51 has never failed to start even in the coldest weather with the R6602. I sure
wish it got better MPG, but for the number of miles I drive it, it can't be beat. I'd buy another R6602 equipped 5 tonner if the opportunity was right.
