No, dodge did use a 3.9 ltr V6 na diesel in early to mid 80's postal
vans, I've seen one, now whether dodge made that first 3.9 diesel or
had it farmed out is unknown to me. Just like the 4.3 ltr that chevy
uses, that 4.3 started as a diesel, there even were a few early S10
blazer that had one, rumor has it that it was a very good engine, but
do to the junk 350 diesels they made, sales of their diesels tanked.
