    There is no sound like a cetane symphony...

    Also, it would be cool to have a 4bt taco getting 40mpg with gobs of torque just off idle!

    I'm a diesel fan

    All you guys are missing one important thing with that diesel swap. you better make damn sure you get ALL your tsb's and recalls done before you do that, or when you take it in the techs will open the hood and be all like :eek::goingcrazy:, then all like :spy: while "removing your unsafe engine package" and next thing you know you watch the techs :brianr::burnrubber: out of the lot with your engine on a trailer, never to be seen again.

    How much weight is that going to be? I'm not up on the latest hybrid tech.
