Thank you for the info libertyfrancis1!

I did not realize that about the cummins. I have heard and read about the 4tb conversions.

It makes sense now why they would still at best only get about 35-40mpg.

Have you heard of anyone trying to import a overseas motor to be swapped in one of the US made trucks. Like the colorado? I know they make a diesel version overseas, but can't find any info on if it would be worth it/possible to do.

Iowa and Nebraska are pretty relaxed on emissions.

As pointed out earlier, I probably will have to resort to a older model truck. I have heard though that some are hard or impossible to get parts for. I don't mind putting in the wrench time or fabrication. I don't want to be fabricating most of the parts it would need.

I really need to pm Diesel Dave and pick his brain. First I need to read his posts though so I am not asking questions he has already answered. lol.
