what a bunch of crap

DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors, when Daimler Chrysler and Mitusbishi tried a joint effort on engines, Dodge had nothing to do with it.

what is there to calm down about [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] i simply said your friend was full of it.

As far as I know DSM was strictly a venture between DC and Mitsu, therefor dodge wouldnt be using them, unless somebody swapped one in there (which would be doubtful). If it was a NEW stratus hes definatly full of it because the DSM's stopped in 99 (ie the new eclipse is not considered DSM)

Dodge was actually part of DSM, as their Avenger v6 was a mitsubishi engine. But anyways, just think of it as a time when Dodge and Mitsu swapped parts.
