Q: if youre meaning the gutless 350 diesel it was diesel by name and squirrel cage in power. the 350 was a converted gas engine. it was not the best but gm did bring us a long way in starting a cold diesel. the 6.2 was a real detroit diesel. and you could get it in a half ton van suburban or blazer. wasnt very powerful but it started and delivered very good fuel mileage. al .

where oh where do they get the stem cells well there are adult stem cells that can be retrieved without killing the host.... theres also a process to stimulate an egg cell into mitosis without using a sperm cell therefore its not a zygote and therefore no debate over where life begins... then theres a process to extract stem cells from the otherwise-discarded umbilical cord... i call that murder. yes - most people who have a very narrow view of things jump to that conclusion we cant start killing unborn children for science experiments!... others thankfully can expand their focus just a bit to see the possibilities that exist without the ethical conflict. unless of course you find it unethical for humans to research cures for diseases. did you feel the same way about the work of jonas salk or albert sabin .

i disagree both my diesels are paying for themselves in fuel savings the liberty especially. my wifes liberty is putting out 160 hp and 300 ft lbs of torque in a 4 cyl. and shes seeing 28 mpg with her driving style lead foot on the interstate to and from work everyday. driving the same commute she fills up once every week and a half when in the 360 powered durango she was filling up every 3rd trip not day trip to or from basically she was filling the durango every other day. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. tom lawrence wrote youre making the assumption that the mpg is equal between a gas and diesel engine of comparable power. thats simply not the case. the diesel can easily outperform a comparable gas engine by 50% in fuel economy sometimes upwards of 90% as evidence a 310hp/450lb.ft. gas v10 gets about 10mpg whereas a 305hp/555lb.ft. diesel i6 gets about 18mpg in the same vehicle - those are both empty daily-commuter numbers i realize that but the payback isnt there. diesel here is $.20 higher than regular gas. the diesel engine costs $5000+ more than the gas. people buy it for the power it puts out. it hasnt been a cost saver for many years. i just do not see a use for a diesel in a 1/2 ton unless its cost over a comparable gasser is under $1000. .

comparing a 1/2 ton to a 1/2 ton truck i would rather have a diesel in it vice a gasser. hell i have a half ton and wish i could convert it! yes the outright read initial expense for a diesel is more but if you look at the long run long term pricing of it a diesel is cheaper. i have a 25 gallon tack and at 2.05 a gallon and a 325 mile range in the city i have to fill up at least once a week. i know a diesel would get better mileage then that. i am spending about 50 buck per oil change right now and that is doing it every 5k running full synthetic oil. tom do you change oil that often i am sure the price is close also though a 1/2 may not have the load capacity of a larger truck a diesel would make more sense if you use the truck for any type of moving hauling traveling etc... btw also of note in the new issue of dieselpower cummins is playing with two new engines a v-6 and a v-8 both considerably lighter then the i6. hmmm a 1/2 diesel sounds a little more realistic with something like that. ford has announced they will offer a diesel option in the f-150 for the 2008 or 2009 model year. all i can say is its about time and what has taken so long. and what are dodge gm toyota and nissan doing about it it seems like a diesel 1/2 ton is long overdue and is a no brainer. i personally want a diesel dakota. .
