2002 Sierra 1500 5.3L to diesel?
I have a 2002 GMC sierra 1500 extended cab 4x4 I am starting to consider swapping the 5.3L for some sort of diesel for MPG and also for extra towing power, etc. my problem is I have no idea of it is possible, what it would cost, and what diesels would be good candidates. Depending on some factors it may not happen but it is something I would do if its possible
Thanks for help

Although I'm a huge fan of projects, any reason why you wouldn't take that 8-10k mentioned and just buy another truck?
I feel like it would be a lot of work and money into a 1/2 ton.
On the other hand, I've also been in the jeep world forever and seen people put 15k out on lifts and such on a rig they drive twice a year just because they are bored.
Haha which ever way I'm gonna keep checkin this to see which way it goes! Good luck!

you do realize that a duracrap only weights 50lbs more than a 4BT right?
4BTs are not light...they are essentially a 6BT with two cylinders chopped off...still a full iron/steel motor that is just as tall as the 6BT.
then again you could get more creative and put a detroit in there!
Detroit 4-53T fits nicely, or for a little tighter fit (but still fits!) a Detroit 6v53T.
both some badass sounding 2 stroke diesels
