I went from 15mpg to 25mpg; granted diesel is a little more expensive; however, I've got plenty of torque and the increased economy is nice.
    I know people who've done the same swap. Neat idea but I needed a new ride not another project.

    Huge demand for 99+ chev truck parts up here. Id have that picked clean in a matter of a few weeks. Good score! But...what happened to the RF tire? Looks like the whole spindle came out with it lol
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    I just had the hubs re-done which are all inclusive.. so not sure. I need a bad@ss mechanic to take a look at this.. I've gotten advice all over the map on this issue. Don't want to jack the thread- I only fear my silverado will end up looking like this one Tater snagged if I don't figure it out!

    Treated myself to a few new tools. Killed my old skill sawzall, after dam near a decade, so I upgraded a bit.




    And scored this gear wrench set from sears for 43$, after a 10$ coupon.

    Well boys and girls, Thursday was a bunker buster day for the juice. Bought 3 vehicles all in the same day, one pickup, one minivan, and, a first for me, one BMW.
    1992 Chevy 2500. And yes without the bed on it does wicked burnouts!
    Trany is missing 2nd gear.


    1984 BMW 528






    No pics on the minivan, not really much worth mentioning.
