As far as I know its the original 6.2/700R4. Guy claims 18-22mpg which is about 10mpg more than my 97 gmc currently. I dont know sh*t about diesels so never thought about any performance mods for them. 400hp would be pretty cool though. Do they make much torque? I`m hoping to look at it this week. Guy was out of town till last night.
