Looks pretty sweet, I espesially like the 40+ mpg they say it gets.

But i'm alittle curious what the reserve is set at.

Looks stock

Pretty tight! I love it when folks do a clean job with the installation of nonstandard equipment. A great deal cleaner than some to the work I've seen on Youtube with turbo installs and the like.

Looks nice, but I highly doubt it AVERAGES 40+ mpg. It may have hit that a time or two, but likely gets around 32-35.

Not that 35 is something to scoff at, but truth in advertising.

It's at $5800 now so I don't know how much more it can run. It is definitely clean and looks great but it is 12+ years old. The concept is great / 40mpg Ranger w/diesel - priced right FOMOCO might sell a few of these.

What is the meaning/significance of the title and lien warnings in the history report. If I were to buy it, what problems would I have getting a new title for the truck in Michigan?

I did not see the actual warnings...but I would imagine with a new engine type it would throw "flags" during titeling

Some states do not allow an engine to go into a vehicle that manufactured before the vehicle was

that is a nice truck and if it sells for that price that would be a good deal........I think you are suppose to swap the gas tank out when you do the swap......I wonder if he did that..........I have been thinking about doing this to a Powerstroke........Destroked - THE Cummins Conversion Company : Home Page

Sweet truck...but I would have picked a different color truck or at least painted it. Does anyone know a ballpark cost of doing a swap like that?

I don't know about a gas powered ranger but the on the powerstrokes you try and find a 6bt for $1,200 and the adapter plate and mounts costs about $800. I am not sure how you handle the ecu. It is easier to do the swap on a truck that is already setup for a diesel.
