Dad had a olds wagon (IDK what model) with the 5.7 diesel and all I remember is getting stuck when it wasn't very deep snow, that was always annoying.
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..

When the fuel crisis hit, Dodge was not prepared, and it took some time to fit pickups with a Mitsubishi diesel; that rare model appeared around 1978, the same year the D-150 and D-250 were introduced. The diesel engine used in 1978 (and possibly later) D150s, D250s, and Power Wagons was the Mitsubishi 6DR5, 3950 cc (243 cubic inches), with 105 hp at 3500 rpm; it was reportedly virtually identical to the Land Cruiser diesel engine of the time. This factory option (VIN code H) was a straight-six and came without a badly needed turbocharger, providing good mileage (reportedly over 20 mpg) but limiting top speeds. These engines do not appear to be listed in the Standard Catalog of American Light-Duty Trucks but are in the 1978 Dodge truck brochureRead more at http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/ram-trucks-D.html?ktrack=kcplink
