I think you should turbo it or 1 of those big ass superchargers that comes through the hood

Drives like a Buick. Tows like a CHAMP. I have zero doubt that it would keep up with my powerstroke. 75 up hills without a downshift.
It's 1500# lighter than my Furd, so the trailer pushes just a little more, but not bad at all... And it is thirsty. I need to run a full tank for solid numbers, but it looks like about 6-8mpg... Of course, that was towing. At 75. Uphill...

I was hoping for ten, but I knew that was optimistic. I'll take eight...
My diesel only turned 13, and can cost me up to a buck a gallon extra. So this isn't that bad...

I change mine every 5000. Which is like once a year maybe twice. Lol. My next one I'm gonna send off to have tested and maybe go a little longer.

Mine was four gallons of oil, about $20 each. Add a filter the size of a two liter bottle and tax, $110...

So it leaks a quart every 1200 miles? Sounds like a Jeep!
