    Why bother with gas - get a real truck. Diesel.

    You can get those for dirt cheap used. Between duramax/allison, powerjoke and the cummins (with that terrible dodge body), I don't really know what to choose. I'd probably go with an old dodge 16v.

    A 16v Cummins?

    Is this a new setup where there's 4 extra valves randomly scattered throughout the engine? I'm gonna assume you meant a 12v, since a 16v Cummins would be a tractor engine (Though a bitchin' one.)

    And I second the diesel vote after further consideration. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Part of me assumed you wanted a new truck off a lot, since you mentioned the Tundra. I am gonna point out to you though that if you want a new Tundra/Sequoia...you are looking at spending my whole year's income in gas if you wanna tow with it. Good luck with that, good sir.

    Doh, yes I did mean 12V. I've seen this 94 12V diesel go through hell and back. That thing was one mean mother!

    I didnt have respect for tractors till I drove a Ford 3 banger diesel (4600?) and man I pulled an E350 van out of a ditch - BARELY OFF IDLE!

    Diesel power!
