Bump bump bump..


I want to know more about this, one of if not the only swap I am actually interested in. It seems diesel is the only way to go as far as gaining substantial fuel economy without losing capability, the reason I own a full size truck in the first place.

Since he hasn't answered, the power brakes on most diesels run off the power steering, so you have a hydraulic booster, in place of your vacuum booster.

they're also great with a big thumpy cam that has no idle vacuum.
