The newer Gassers run really good and pull good as well. I have had the opportunity to drive both gas and diesel pickups and for the price difference I will stick with a gas engine. If I were doing allot of pulling and long trips the diesel would probably pay off, but I don't so for me it won't. I have a chevy 1 ton with the 7.4 Vortec and really like it. Gas mileage stinks but it pulls great. I also have a Dodge 3/4 ton with the 8.0 V10 in it. There again lots of power, but gas mileage suffers if I get to flogging it much. Honestly if you are set on a newer truck buy the biggest gas engine you can get and you will be fine. Yea you have to feed it a little more often, but the price difference between the gas and diesel engine buys allot of gas and the upkeep is allot less especially if it sits allot and sees mostly short trips. Just my experience. There are the guys out there that love their diesel pickups and work them hard. For them it works out great. For me I just can't justify one.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
