What gets better mileage..... Gas or Diesel ??

[Cabaiguan Juan]

I go with the deisel. More bio-fuels will be coming to market, certainly during the life of the engine, if not the whole truck. If you ever get down to, I think a place in texas has it, you can get willie nelson's bio fuel or a conversion kit from canada that allows you to burn fryolater oil, which you can generally get for free.

Bio-fuel is the way to go. Go deisel and make freinds with the MacDonalds chain owner in your area.

Remember that some whacko polution laws are in effect for the 07 diesels. I have heard that the cummings and others are so computer controlled now that they are a hellish nightmare to work on.

Pick up truck diesels are ok but I get a kick out of people boasting how whicked bad as there powerstroke cummings duramax are BFD. The old POS dump truck we had at work had a DTA466 that cranked out 275 HP and somewhere around 700 ft lb of torque . Funny thing is that torque was made at 1500 rpm and HP was made at 2200 rpm that thing made 6 times more noise and smoke that a pick up diesel putting out more HP. It was deafning with a straight stack right next to an open window . Pickup diesels remind me of 2 stroke dirt bikes,ya gotta wind em up hard to get anything out of them. Get one if you wanna be a pretend trucker but I drive an f700 diesel everyday and I don't wanna hear some rattly smokey bastard of a motor in my nice pickup truck.

You young girls prolly dont remember when HD pickup trucks had big assed gas burners, Long live the old Ford 390, 460, 429 and Chevy's 454
