Very interesting. There is a lot more known about diesels than when that engine came out. I wonder if you could do a few tweaks (turn up the injection pump?). Your list of trucks indicates that you have some with good power. I would be curious what kind of fuel mileage you could get with that motor. Might make it worth keeping the old gravel grinder in place.

I like the truck. Good grab.
