Engine, transmission, wiring, computer, front springs, instrument cluster. Those are just the major parts.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Particularly since you haven't purchased one yet, just get what you want and be done with it. You'll have more $$$/time/effort in the swap than you'll save in cost up front of a gasser vs diesel.

oooh... careful there, I know I said "gasser vs diesel" but I didn't intend to start that up again

It might be easier to drop in a Cummins 5.9L.

On that note, I would advise buying a blown up 6.0 or 7.3 truck and then drop it in, that is a conversion I've always wanted to do. If I could get my hands on a diesel SD with a bad motor, and drop a 24V cummins 5.9 it truly would be the best of both worlds
