Default Diesel newbie

Hi, I have never owned a diesel, but I am considering buying one for my next truck. I have the need to be able to tow and haul more lbs and my gas 2001 chevy 5.3 is struggling.
Looking for a used diesel truck 4x4. This site looks like the place to make the right educated choice, hopefully.

Thanks,

Default Got my 92 5.9 back

Hey everyone. I've owned a 1992 D250 with the turbo 5.9L for about a year and a half now but I moved to Florida about 6 months after I got it and I just flew up to Ohio from Florida and got it back! I'm so excited. Mainly to get wrenching on it and get some more power out of it the way it is!

I work for Chrysler as a service mechanic but they of course have no parts for the damn thing. . Either way I'm glad to have somewhere to work on it at.

I was honestly surprised that it made the 902 mile hike to get here! But it DID!!!!!!

that is all.

Oh and welcome to all the other new guys too!

-Mike C.
