⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options:

The Dodge Stealth was primarily equipped with Mitsubishi-sourced engines, notably the 6G72 V6. Specific configurations included a naturally aspirated version and a twin-turbocharged version for higher performance trims (e.g., RT/TT).

Naturally Aspirated V6:

Approx. 222 horsepower and 217 lb-ft torque (actual figures may vary slightly by year/trim).

Twin Turbo V6:

Approx. 300 horsepower and 307 lb-ft torque (actual figures may vary slightly by year/trim).

Fuel Delivery:

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with multi-point injection (MPI) for all variants.

🔧 Transmission

Manual Transmission:

Available on many trims, typically a 5-speed manual transaxle.

Automatic Transmission:

Available on select trims, typically a 4-speed automatic transaxle.

All Wheel Drive:

The high-performance RT/TT models featured a sophisticated all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with a viscous coupling center differential and an active transfer case for enhanced traction and handling.

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

2-door coupe.

Curb Weight:

Varies by trim and drivetrain, typically ranging from approximately 3500 lbs to 3800 lbs.

🛡️ Safety Features

Airbags:

Driver and passenger front airbags were standard across most model years.

Seatbelts:

Three-point front and rear seatbelts.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was available as an option or standard on higher trims.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Factory-installed AM/FM stereo cassette player, often with an optional CD player. Speaker configurations varied by trim level.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) offered an improvement in braking control during hard stops.

Four Wheel Steering:

Select higher performance models featured an active four-wheel steering (4WS) system, enhancing maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions and oil type used.

Timing Belt Replacement:

Crucial for V6 engines. Recommended replacement every 60,000 to 90,000 miles or as specified in the manual, due to the interference engine design.

Engine Oil:

Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30) and API service classification. For twin-turbo models, synthetic oil is highly recommended.

Coolant:

Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific type (e.g., HOAT or OAT) should be confirmed per manual.

Transmission Fluid Manual:

API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil, viscosity typically 75W-90 or 80W-90. Consult manual for precise specification.

Transmission Fluid Automatic:

Dexron III or equivalent automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Check manual for exact specification and capacity.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Manual will specify which is correct for the particular model year and braking system.

Turbos:

Turbocharger seals can fail, leading to oil consumption or loss of boost. Regular oil changes and proper cool-down procedures are critical.

Suspension:

Worn control arm bushings, ball joints, and strut mounts are common wear items, especially on higher mileage vehicles.

Electrical:

Flickering gauges, HVAC blower motor issues, and power window problems can occur due to aging electrical components and wiring harnesses.
