Just discovered my 350 Chevy 1-ton 4x4 is going to need a rebuild and also just saw a local add for a good running 1987 6.2L maybe less than the 350 rebuild cost. This might be the good time to get into diesel compatible alternative fuels. It'd be nice to get better mpg than the low teens the 350 gives and get some diesel experience. Anything I should watch out for or avoid?
Thanks
