diesel/ gas

[CFearthwork]

is there anyone out there running a diesel motor?
if so what do you think of it.
i have a few powerstroke motors from some wrecked trucks.
i know you can make some huge HP with a diesel but there not very high reving
i also knwo that there are turbo charges and that may cause troubles with the dust.
any insite into using a powerstroke vs a gas burner

Diesel in a stock full ok. Anything faster, will be too heavy. Your front end would grenade with that heavy engine after a few hundred miles of 3ft. woops.

thanks just thinking outside the box i guess.
maybe out my mind to be honest.
i am a huge diesel guy and we have some pretty fast trucks.
thought maybe someone would have one out there. but you cant even begin to talk about that v8 sound they make when haulin ***** threw the woopies

There are some lightweight diesels out there like BMWs 3.0 inline 6 can be tuned for over 300 BHP & 600 NM or the 3.0L V6 in the jeep grand cherokee CRD it a mercedes unit.

but in both cases not as much bang for the buck a gas v8

Propane injection and move the engine back 10 inches and you could really have something.
My Pro2 buddy in Montana was trying to get WSORR to let him test a diesel and he bought a duramax to do it.On the duramax with the proper chip you have all the accelaraion you could ever need at half the cost of a gas motor.

ive been wanting to build a diesel race truck for a while.. 80 gallon cell of bio diesel and u can do the whole race no pit stops..

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but all the buzz around the new Volkswagon trophy truck is that's it's a turbo diesel. It ran the Baja 1000 this year, but got taken out due to it's transmission...there's certainly no shortcoming of threads about it if you do a search.
