Being a lake bum in Texas
throwing around a few ideas for my tow rig and considering swapping it over to a 6.5L turbo diesel, where can i find a good quality crate motor (or low miles) 6.5 at?
truck has a 454 in it with great power, just crunching the numbers (fuel cost) looks like it would cost me about $1500 more a year to drive the 454 at 10mpg as compared to driving a diesel at 19mpg, ouch. doubt i can improve the 454 to the kind of fuel economy i want (14mpg), and i'm familiar with the 6.5L.
another option would be to pull the 6.5L out of the yukon, go through it since its at 155k miles and hasnt lived a hard life, and relocate it to the tow rig.
