Re: new diesel truck
hear that is a tough swap. may need to at least lift it. look around for some diesel swap info on the net. great truck with a 6.5t if you want to just drive it. not a big powerhouse.

Re: new diesel truck
haha sorry i want a diesel that can put out some power and the 6.5 sadly was not that type of diesel. i would gladly take a duramax if i could find one for cheap only reason i want to do the cummins is because my friend wrecked his and will let me have the engine and crap for free if i pull it out of the truck.
