What your looking in is a great choice, not to mention they run forever under alot of abuse. There are a couple around here with stacks that sound really good, for a diesel.

I had one badly beat my truck and he said all he had was a Bully Dog setup. Diesel is also a good choice with gas prices going up and up and up.

I had always thought about where to get a Bio Diesel kit but one day while watching Trucks! Stacy had a complete kit he was showing off and he made some fuel too out of used frying oil. He said that there are power gains and MPG gains when using Bio-Diesel over pump diesel, not sure about other dyes. He got his oil for free and the kits was something like $400 bux, the powder was the most expensive part. He calculated that he was spending 0.70 cents a gal, now thats good. Makes me want to rip out my 5.4L (For one of my mustangs of course) and slap in a new Turbo Diesel. My truck gets horrible milage and now with gas over $3/gal here in Springfield I just cant afford it much anymore.

Good luck with your choice, shoot us some pix when you get it.

One thing about diesels though,, they're not so good if all you do is a lot of short trips etc.. like a lot of quick dashes to the store/buddies house/etc..
