Re: 4BT Cummins in a full size pickup, a good idea or bad one?

Thanks guys. I notice everyone says 4BTs are a little expensive, but I dont see how they are anymore expensive than the 6BT (in fact they appear to be cheaper.). How much worse would the 6BT be on mielage than the 4BT? I know someone who had a bone stock 89 Ram 1 ton , with the 6BT, and the Ram pickups the era, are not what I call a lightweight vehicle by any means. He had claimed to get 24 to a gallon, so I assumed having two less cylinders would equal higher mielage, but the way you guys are talking, it does not seem to be the case. I have thought about newer generation engines, (both gas, and diesel) but I prefer to stay away from electronics if I can, so that is why I look these older Cummins offerings.
