A while back someone here mentioned turning a f250 into a hybrid and I got the crazy idea into my head of a dual engine setup for my truck. I kinda envisioned the system as having the main 6.7l V8 as running but idle (to keep all the electronics and stuff working) but have power come from a 2nd small v4 or I4 when I don't need to move fast (like on short trips or something) Anyone think this may be possible or am I crazy?
