Hello fellas
Just wanting some advice on the guys who are running the 2.8L diesel
I currently have a 1989 Single cab lux with a 22R Petrol engine in it... Over the past year I have spent to much money on it.. including Front shock hoops rear shocks are inverted, marine carpet, roof console, body lift etc etc etc....
Its now come to a point where Im wanting a diesel for the reliability and better fuel economy as this 22R is using close to 18L per 100Ks...
Do I...
1, Sell my lux and buy a diesel and start from scratch ( wouldnt mind a different truck )
2. Drop a 2.8 or 3.0TD into my current chassis, This means changing of the engine mounts bell housing and possibly gearbox,
What do you guys think would be the best option? Buy something thats already got a diesel in it or drop one in mine.. Im only 19 years old and this is my first car, i have been through thick and thin with this truck but still love it and will be tough to see it go, but... Wouldnt mind a new truck 1995ish
Thoughts?
Thanks
