good ole truck
first post so, hey yall. like ur site
i have a 97 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 that has 190k miles on it. trucks fixing to get new leather and carpet, fresh bushings and joints, and a 383 built for towing and hopefully last me another 12 years. but i sure would like to have a deisel. would be on a real tight budget, been saving for the project for a while. and i want a reliable, issues free truck when im done. any suggestions?

Cummins 4bt will out last that truck,be way more reliable,give good power(way more torque than a 383),and good economy.It's not cheap,but once it's done there are way less things that can go wrong with a diesel.A tune up is oil and filter changes every 15,000 miles,depending on oil brand.The conversion will require some fabrication work,mainly engine and trans mounts.You may need a lift that will drop the front differential down to clear the oil pan, or possibly modify the oil pan to clear the front diff.
