This thing is a beast and will make an awesome driver. What kind of fuel mileage will you get with that diesel? My father in law has an 07 GMC 1 ton with a diesel and I was surprised when he said he could get 20 with it.

Thanks! I think it'll do 18-20 easy. My 95 F-350 crew cab long box 4x4 has a 1990 12v in it turned up and has bigger injectors and turbo. It gets 18 back and forth to work, and I've seen 22 on the hwy. It's crazy really.The Corvette got 32mpg on the last trip it went on. That was driving it like there was an egg under the pedal to keep smoke down.

That's great; my 06 Silverado with a v6 5 speed only gets 20 at its best.
I believe this was somewhere around 2015, Rick, Rosie and Johnboy
