im likeing the sound of a cummins swap i might have to look in to that a lil



thanks guys for all your input im gonna try to keep my eyes open for a 6.2 that has been taken care of and aint set around and got all out of wack or find a truck with no motor and do a cummings swap would be the best thing to do i think.
