Why LPG? Doesn't have as much power as gasoline, and it'll take a while for the system to pay for itself in gas savings... If it ever does.

Well, bear in mind, your fuel economy is gonna drop about 30% on LPG vs. Gasoline. Given the cost of the kit, installation, etc.... You are going to spend a pretty penny.

Looking at the price of LPG vs Gasoline, where I am.... LPG is about 2/3rds the price of gasoline. (currently) and losing almost a third of your fuel mileage on LPG, I don't think the system will ever pay for itself.

they have some not sure if they have your model..
if not you may have to convert your truck to a carburetor and use a universal kit.. the fuel in injection is the problem along with the computer .
might nots even feasible because of the computer.
