I don't have MSN....sorry...

It is true that diesel parts are more expensive than gasser parts, but parts for the 6.5 are way cheaper than parts for the DMAX....for example - injectors for a DMAX are around the $3000 mark - for the 6.5 the injectors are around $300....huge difference....

Things you would need to do to get the most reliability out of your 6.5 are the following:

- exhaust ~$400
- PMD relocation ~$300 or less if you do it yourself
- Gauges (boost and EGT) $200ish

The rest of the performance mods are also relatively cheap:

- intercooler
- chip/ECM
- meth injection
- AMG block
- 18:1 pistons
- etc.

To run biodiesel you will need to get a tank with an in-tank heater....you can find out all kinds of information about the conversion at frybrids.com
