I cannot figure out the palindrome, the only one I like is the lake address 27172, works the same from either direction, ie a palindrome

205 HP @4750 RPM  
260 Lb/ft of torque @ 3000 RPM

Compared to newer trucks it’s not very impressive, but back in 1999 it was on part with the other V6 options available in full sized trucks.
