Dodge AT4 675

G'day all,

Just a query regarding the Dodge AT4 675 - a friend of the family's has one of the abovementioned Dodges and he uses it to cart hay from the paddock to the shed.... anyway, onto what I want to know: did the AT4 675 have a diesel engine or not? I peered underneath and saw a square or rectangular sump which I assumed might be from a Detroit Diesel 2 stroker - I do stand to be corrected however! Gonna post some photos later - my apologies to you all because they will be fairly small because I had to use the camera on my mobile phone as I didn't have my other camera with me! Then again, maybe not!

Because here below is the AT4 675 in question:

Dont think it would be a Detroit, maybe a Perkins 6-354. Lance our Dodge man should be able to tell you more about it, Cheers Pete

Hi Peter,

I thought it might have been a Perkins but I wasn't sure whether it was or not! I was gonna pop the bonnet up to see but I thought better! The man who owns it is a lucerne grower and uses it as a hay truck! He has another one which I can confirm has a diesel engine - by looking at the exhaust pipe - but I could be wrong again!

only the perkins 6.354 or the 318-3 V8 was avail in the 600 series AT4s ..some 700 series AT4s had the V8 cummins but most (like mine)had the 361-4 V8 petrol)

they are GR8 trucks !

Kennymopar,

You're not wrong about that! My uncle over in Gulgong has one of the AT4's - not too sure what it is, eg. 675 or 690 - but it has the 6.354 Perkins in it with a 5x2 gearbox/diff setup!

Hi There, I think your query has been answered but by way of confirmation I believe the only original equipment diesel was the Perkins 6-354. Petrol engine would be V8 313CID on early models and 318CID on later models.

Lance,

You guys are deadset legends! I will confirm what you have said when I go out to the property next time! Will look for the engine number which should start with TC if it's a 6-354, according to my Perkins Engine ID brochure!

Just wondering about those Dodge V8 petrol engines. Were they made here or imported?

Pete,

I'm not too sure - hoping Lance will come online and answer for ya - but I'm pretty certain they were made here for our markets! The 318 cu. in. V8's were also made for Valiant cars too, from memory!

Joe

the early (poly head) 313 were Canadian the 318 poly(poly small blocks were made up until 1967 till the changeover to the "la" series of mopar motors i believe they were usa made...& believe it or not the late 70s 318 truck motors were made in Brazil..(ive got one to prove it!)
