I called a local gas staion the other day to ask if they had biodiesel. Thinking to myself this would help out with the hole in my wallet, if I could burn it in my Dodge Diesel:rolleyes:. Well the station told me they care it (good news) and then they said it was $4. 09Gal. Regular fuel was the...

DCreed, Thanks for the input. I only have a few questions. You say "must have VP44 box. Is that something I have to purchase with the quadzilla adrenaline? VP means vaccuum pump right? Told you I was new to the diesel truck. Hey also what is IMHO?

gauges? Well guys, my plan is to get a set of gauges and a perfomance module or whatever you call it. SO my use of the truck is daily driver plus haul a 30' camper (8000lbs. full). I want to keep the best fuel mileage as possible so if an upgrade gives more performance but lesss mileage I dont...

OK Thanks Guys! I was installing my 4" exhaust yesterday and was looking for a stamp on the turbo, didn't notice a tag, but I will look again. Now that I know its on a tag and not stamped in the cast of the metal! Thanks again!

95,000 miles so far Joe Mc, I bought the truck two weeks ago with 93,000 miles on it. I figured I couldn't go wrong there! IT has NO rust under the doors or rockers. Under the truck looks spotless. I am new here to the diesel trucks so I am still learning all the lingo, like DDT's and KDP. Not...
