New from Ohio

Hi to you all, I am glad that I found this site. I am finding answers to a lot of my questions just from reading the forums. I have a lot to learn to prepare for the truck that I am planning to get.
________________________________________________

Currently I have a VW Golf TDI (the poor boy’s diesel) with about 160,000 miles.

My future vehicle will be a Laramie Ram Crew Cummins (a real diesel) 3500 SWB long bed with 3.73’s. The mod’s that I plan to do are: intake and exhaust upgrades, the deletes, performance chip, fueled primarily by biodiesel made by myself (I understand that home brew biodiesel when made properly is far superior in quality then the commercial made stuff) and cost about $1 to $1.25 a gal to make. I will install a second tank, fuel lines, and filter all heated so that I can use the biodiesel in the winter as well as summer, and I also plan to build and install a HHO generator.

I may be dreaming but with all the mods and using a HHO generator I hope to be able to get somewhere around 30 mpg.

I plan to get the truck this July, so I have until then to build the biodiesel processor, the HHO generator and plan exactly which mods to buy. Hopefully all the kits and parts for the 2010 will be ready by then.
