YKYAEI...
You see an article in Diesel Power magazine title "1,000 Miles to Empty" about another 6.7L Cummins Dodge Ram and think, "Sweet! Somebody else has done what I have. I wonder how they did it." Then your disapointed when you find out they added an additional 20 gallons of fuel tank!

YKYAEI when you see a forklift, you're disappointed to see an LP tank on it. No electric motor there.

There are no more electric forklifts anymore - Ecomodders have taken all their motors for EV conversions
