I always wanted to try a diesel but was afraid of the different tech stuff as I have owned gassers all my life.But after "reading up" on this site [diesels in general & 12V's & 24V's] and seeing how you guys help each other, I got enough nerve to give it a try, and I'm glad I did.
I really like my truck and that's saying a lot with $4/gal fuel.
So I'm raising a frosted glass to you guys and saying THANKS AGAIN!Keep up the good work!

I wish my truck was that low on milage. Had mine around 3 years myself and have racked up around 50k miles. During that time the truck was parked for 8 months while I was in Iraq and I lived 2 miles from work for 6 months. Old girl should roll 279k miles this weekend. I to owe alot of thanks to Infidel and several others for the wealth of knowledge on here.

 

Although I am very new here I would like to second the thanks to Infidel for extremely solid tech advice on several threads.

New fuel level sending unit yesterday along with repairs to the in-tank assembly. Once again, very solid advice from Infidel. It's nice to know how much is in the tank.
