I’m a Mechanic: These 4 Cars Have Engines That Could Die on You

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a classic, perhaps best known as the car featured in "Training Day," a film starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke — but it had a very rough road in the 1980s. The fourth-gen Monte Carlo gave buyers the pick of a 5.7L V8 diesel engine, better known as the Oldsmobile Diesel. In production from 1978 to 1985, this engine was plagued with problems over its entire lifetime, and it led to a steep decline in diesel engine sales.

Following the demise of the 425-horsepower 426 HEMI V8 in 1971, Chrysler mothballed the hemispherical combustion chamber design and its awe-inspiring HEMI nameplate for over 30 years. While the second-generation 426 HEMI clearly earned its rank as a high-horsepower engine, the newer 5.7- and 6.1-liter third-gen HEMI V8s provide impressive horsepower ratings as well as improved fuel economy and reliability.

Transmissions matter a lot when it comes to diesel trucks. That's because pulling power isn't just limited by the power and torque of the engine, but also by the strength of the transmission responsible for delivering that power and torque to the wheels. As a result, most diesel truck owners want to know that their truck has a solid transmission behind their engine, especially if heavy towing is a part of the equation.

The Pontiac brand was established in 1926 by General Motors and was so successful in its early years that GM abandoned its similar Oakland division in 1933. Pontiac had begun to flounder by mid-century, though, so John DeLorean was hired to manage the division in 1956. Pontiac flourished under his leadership, cementing its place in muscle car history with the 1964 GTO and following that up with the beastly yet gorgeous 1967 Firebird.

The hemispherical (HEMI) engine has been an automotive staple since its first generation starting in 1951. Used in classic trucks and legendary muscle cars up until 1971, the HEMI was revived in the early 2000s. Ram trucks started coming equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI, then enthusiasts received the massive 6.2-liter HEMI V8 D170, that powered the Dodge Hellcat. When every major HEMI engine is ranked, from least to most horsepower, the top spot features one with 1500 horses.

Driving an iconic classic car often feels like a never meet your heroes moment. When I found myself behind the wheel of a DeTomaso Pantera - a car my dad spent half of his life trying to convince me it was the best performance car in the world! - it ended up feeling like I was locked inside a coffin to which someone had strapped a Ford 351 small block stuck on full throttle. It wasn't all that fun.

Even if you don't use AT&T, you've more than likely heard of the company's variety of unlimited data plans. These plans have taken many different forms over the years, with many going on to be discontinued to make way for new and improved plans. More recently, AT&T retired some of its longtime unlimited plans such as AT&T Unlimited Extra, AT&T Unlimited Starter, and AT&T Unlimited Premium. While you aren't required to switch if you're already on an unlimited plan that's been retired, keeping it won't help if you're trying to save on your AT&T bill.
