anyone into diesels?

[wed3k]

my friend has 3 vw tdi's, a powerstroke 7.3 and a 95 cummins and i think im starting to get an itch.

i want an old vw rabbit truck and convert it to the newer 1.9 tdi.

mainly shooting for gas mileage and reliability and if i want power, i was thinking of a cummins diesel. not too fond on working on a v style engine especially a diesel. v10 tdi toureg's look pretty cool but im trying to get away from vw's! lol

you should get an old rabbit

Apparently all of Alberta is into diesels. I can't go anywhere here without almost getting run over by jacked up trucks or smoked out from red lights by jackasses with their clouds of diesel smoke.

Craving an old diesel Suburban myself.

i want to go chevy but honestly, i think thier duramax's are the only good ones they produced.

the older 7.3's and cummins 5.9 are strong but i don't want that old of a truck.

is there such thing as a diesel CB7? i heard Cummings (not sure if i spelled that right) makes a 2.4 4 banger

Yea if you want big smoky power the duramax is great. I'd prefer a much simpler mechanical diesel. The 6.2 won't get you anywhere fast, but it'll last forever with proper maintenance and updates, and get 20+ mpg in a 4000lb truck with the aerodynamics of a brick.

nothing beats a vw diesel.The car will rot away before the motor dies
Guy next door has a mk2 jetta diesel with 489,xxx miles on it and he keeps it in the garage.Bought it off the showroom floor.

According to a thread on here, yes.
I believe it was in the beginner section. Someone had acquired a 4 cylinder diesel and wanted to swap it in.

I've wanted a k5 blazer with a 4BT Cummins. With proper tuning i've heard of people getting 30mpg in a K5 blazer.

also, i really dig 87-95 diesel Mercedes.

Think you will find that was out of a late model Civic from Europe, and they wanted to swap it into the CB.
