I'm buying a diesel
 

But not a Cummins. Cummins is still the best, but I can't find anything for a reasonable price. It is like they are gold. Anyway. I am going to do a swap on my 75 Chevy 3/4 ton gasser with a 6" lift and 35" tires and I am swapping in a 6.5TD. I know I know, it is a Chevy, but I have always wanted a diesel even if it is a Chevy. Look at the bright side, at least it isn't a Powerchoke


One day......I am going to buy my dream truck......a real mans truck.......A CUMMINS!!!!

RE: I'm buying a diesel
 

Good luck w/ the swap -- have a blast doing it :D:D

RE: I'm buying a diesel
 

I think I would take the 7.3l powertroke any day over the 6.5l chevy. But thats just my opinion. Either way grats on the diesel;)

RE: I'm buying a diesel
 

that 6.5TD is a complete boat anchor that cannot get out of it's own way. . .your best bet would be to find a 4BT and toss it in. . .I think you can find one for around 2K

RE: I'm buying a diesel
 

+1 or a 5.9 cummins!!! is the motor way to expensive or the whole truck?

RE: I'm buying a diesel
 

dont know too much, but do konw I like the little 4BT! good luck wiht the swap...take some pics i wanta see!

one guy at the SC dyno day had a chevy with a 4bt out of a bread truck. . .thing made 106hp at the wheels. this in a 4dr 2wd long bed dualy that gets nearly 30mpg.
