I hope you come to the PSD world soon you won't regret it buddy.

First truck was a used 78 Dodge 1/2 ton w/318 gasser. Loved the engine, truck fell apart. Went to F150 w/ straight 6. Great truck. Fulfilled a dream by building a 302 and dropping it in, boy did it scream! Broke a rear axle hauling too much wood so graduated to 250 gasser. Wondered how I ever put up with the half-ton's limitations. 130,000 mile later it was time to let go of the 250 gasser and got the 97 PSD. Now I am wondering how I ever put up with the gassers limitation's!!! I cannot envision myself ever, ever owning anything but at least a 3/4 ton diesel.
Guaranteed that if you ever buy one and work it and learn just what these engines are capable of, you will never look back!
