i dont care how much this would cost, but once my engine goes, 150k miles on it, im going to convert it to diesel... i need the extra mpg, and power is certainly a plus

Any domestic diesel for your truck, assuming you can find one, will be so
mucked up by EPA emission regulations that it will not perform very much
better than a gasoline engine. Mileage would be a little better no matter what,
but power will be down unless some serious rework of the intake system is done.

Unless I miss my guess, the state of NJ will regulate you to death and your attempts
at a diesel conversion will be a nightmare.

Im sick of these ******* kids who think they are going to have fast trucks by having diesels. If your girl friend is that fat and you need a diesel i feel for you.
If not stay away

what's wrong with wanting to have a cummins 2500 that runs 12's or 13's?? just cause i don't pull a trailer more than a couple times a year doesn't mean i love the sound, the way they drive, or the awesome ways to tune one.... i'll take a 2003 dodge 2500 with a cummins H.O. any day over my f150 because of the cummins that's in it

yes i'm a kid, no my g/f aint fat, and yes if i had one.... it would go fast
