    2018, not 2015. The guy spent $31k on the swap, and is excited about the fuel savings? Haha. Cool though.

    Yeah, I'm good with a gasser. I wanted to look at the mini-duramax, but it does not make any sense unless you tow A LOT

    Current EPA emissions choke diesel engines. Don’t forget the extra expenses on higher priced oil changes, PDF, DEF fluid, tons of sensors to go bad, etc. After the warranty is up you will need a dealer only scanner to troubleshoot.

    Yeah, but for $40,000+ I will get a full size gasser with gobs more power and low end torque.

    Funny how so many people think a diesel is trouble and maintenance free.

    Yep. Most people want power to = speed. Having more power doesn't matter if it's slow as shit.

    Wow! He spent more on the conversion than he did on the truck. It will take decades to recoup the cost through mileage savings. If ever!
