Re: 4bt cummins swap

The reason most people entertain the idea of a diesel swap is better fuel economy. Unfortunately diesel is like $.50 more a gallon. So when you factor that in plus the fact that you'll spend significantly more building them and fixing them. It almost ends up being a wash.

I have three Cummins 4bt conversions and a Dodge Cummins truck. I don't find them more expensive. And $.50 more a gallon for $4.00 fuel is only about a 14% increase for which I get 100% better fuel mileage. Just my 14+ year real life experience not speculation.
