I was just reading the thread on gas mileage improvements and I started thinking about diesel conversions--again. Just wandering what the concensus would be for the best diesel engine /transmission/gearing swap(and out of what) for our trucks. Keeping in mind something that would give good gas mileage (hopefully around 20mpg or better) and able to be a decent tow rig--say able to tow up to 10000 lbs with little difficulty. Anybody up for the challenge?
