Anyone With A 6.5 Diesel Box Truck?


what kind of mileage do you get and how big is the truck? I've got a 10' box on the back of a chevy Express and thinking of dropping a 6.5 in for fuel economy...not sure if it's worth it with a used engine.

BTW, the search engine doesn't work with the string '6.5' - any tips?
