Charlie the Megas only come with the 3.73 or optional 4.10's unless you put 3.932's in.

It may sound like I don't recomend the CTD to anyone. That ain't the case. There is another thread about a fella wanting to lift and mount 37" tires on a hemi powered 2500. Then he wants to tow up to 6000 lbs. Told him to get the CTD. This guy is different.

There are a few good reasons to get a CTD (or any diesel).
1. You want one.
2. You are loading down the motor.
3. You need to burn the same fuel as your equipment.

The fella that started this thread didn't seem to fit that mold. I didn't either.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I think I'm keep an eye out for a good deal on a diesel, but all else fails, I'll get 1500 hemi.
