	WEll this is my daily car of choice, it's just my Explorer, like many trucks, value started to dip below what i owed and nobody wants to be stuck with a car that's worth squat

Yeah I know.
I had a Diesel that got 8mpg.
I sold it right before Diesel prices rocketed. lol
Then I bought a little ranger. But now I miss all the power. I went from a 7.3L to a 3.0. It sucks lol.
So I decided to hell with saving money on gas. I want the power back.
So it's either buy a new truck, or do an engine swap and drop like a 302 in my ranger or something. But that would take me to much time and I can't be with out a rig that long.
I'm probably gonna buy this older F150 that my buddies brother is selling.

	Yeah. I like the diesel power. I love the sound, the smoke, and the power and torque. Everything about um. There's this like rice burner group in my town, and they all run around in their lowered hondas and crap, and it's so fun to go out and see those guys try to race the big diesels. I miss mine. But diesel is like, 4.50 a gallon, it would cost so much to drive.
