OK, this messed with my brain a bit. Had to do some quick google searching. The affiliation with Mitsubishi began in 1970. Kinda blows my mind that they were rebranding Galants as Colts in the same year the 71 Hemi Cuda rolled off the line.

Wasn't the small D50 just a rebadged Mitchybitchy?Makes two of us Rob...
Any truck guys familiar with this?
According to the Interwebs....
The 1978 models also saw the introduction of the first diesel-powered Dodge pickup truck. Available as an economy choice in the D/W 150 and 200 trucks was Mitsubishi's 6DR5 4.0L inline six-cylinder naturally-aspirated diesel, rated at 105 hp (78 kW) at 3500 rpm, and 230 N·m (169 lb·ft) at 2200 rpm.
I just searched and found an article about the Mitsubishi, but I caint find anything about the Perkins. Maybe I imagined it. LOLMakes two of us Rob...

And I've never heard them putting such a small diesel in a full sized pick up. Something doesn't sound right. But you never know with Mopar. Automotive History: The Case Of The Very Rare 1978 Dodge Diesel Pickup And The Missing Diesel Van - Curbside Classic

Win or die. That time of year.Tomlin stormed off the podium when asked about his job, can't say I blame him

Off idle stumble, my experience is squirter size. Light car usually wants a larger size squirter whereas a heavier car wants a smaller one. I had to step my squirter size up on the Demon last summer.New everything. Off idle stumble in my 66 with a 408. Been fighting this. I'm beginning to think power valve issue

When I moved my 950 3 barrel from my truck #28 squirter to my hot rod i had to swapped all the way to a #40. The demon I had to buy new squirters as they don't make any different sizes for the 660 center squirters and drilled them out, one size at a time until I got it. Factory is 0.025 and I drilled 2 to 0.033" to fix it.I had the smallest in there.....ops
Wow, just Wow. Super cool.Through some connections we got a specual tour of Pearl Harbor on the Deputy Fleet Commanders boat. The Fkeet Commanders boat house was pretty cool. What a rough job working there.

Happened a lot until Cummins, Detroit and International made the things smaller to fit in trucks.Seeing Foreign Diesels in American equipment is not very common, but it absolutely did happen........
