also, if people want a diesel over here, they are likely to get a powerstroke or maybe a cummins or duramax, (FORD, dodge, chevy)

 

the only problem with that is that they're quite large.

 

large or not, we have a 2000 7.3 powerstroke that will make it from here to el paso and back on one tank, with about 50 miles left over. el paso is 298 miles from here, good ol 38 gallon tank!

 

I did my first pure highway driving with the LR and I was very happy with the mpg. I pulled my classic mini cooper for about 300 miles (up and down the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina) and I got 18mpg. The best part was that I didn't even notice the mini!! Without the mini, I was achieving 22+ mpg. Not too bad for a 6000lb. beast!!!!!

 

There is a 2.8 Powerstroke diesel that will fit under the hood as well as the 300 tdi. Need to change the front suspension and do some welding for the mounts. And scrap the electrical. And scrap the A/C. And modify the transmission. And change the cooling. And... (I think you get the picture)

 

I would pay any price for gas before i ever did anything with a powerchoke, powerjoke, powerlesstroke, or just plain power stroke crap.

 

have you ever drove a powerstroke? or any big diesel truck?

 

i would be more than happy to toss my electical system

 

YES,
1, my parents on a trucking co. I drove peterbilts and kw's
2, I had a cummins in HS
3, I have a 99 cummins i pull my racecar with now.
4, my dad tried a powerchoke then within 6 months it was traded in, he now drives a duramax.
5, If you wanna talk to me about diesels meet me in denver for truck weekend with your powerchoke. will race, I am running an ats triplelok converter w/ command lockup, Edge comp programmer, and about 44psi of boost @ sea level.
So my answer again, YES I have drove a diesel.
:edit: stay tuned in when i get pics.

 

our powerstroke is mostly stock, all we have is a 4 year old programmer and a boost tube on the waste gate
