I like everything Rob Z. said to you, the main thing is finding a clean body. If it already diesel powered then it's a plus and makes the swap easier. a 6.2 or 6.5 is never going to get anywhere near the MPG of a 4BT. I dont want to get into a CUmmins Vs. 6.2/6.5 debate either. I am a member of two Cummins forums and it amazes me the poor condition of some of the trucks that the guys still love to death. Prices on diesel powered trucks and SUV's are on the rise though. crossy
