That mileage is not a whole lot better than my 4.0. :roll:

I'd love a diesel but there are few Stateside (and Canada-side) options that I am aware of.

The 5.0 is totally do-able. There are detailed instructions on www.therangerstation.com.

The 5.0 would be the easy swap. I was looking at a cummins 4bt.

Too cool.

There were a few early G1 Rangers with diesels. Ohlin's or Mazda. The Mazda I believe was a turbo.

Mitsubishi turbo and a mazda/perkins unit.

Both would be too underpowered for me.

Both are underpowered. I think they are 65 MPH trucks. The 200cc CB of the truck world. Cool though. I'd sure like one. I hear they get 40 MPG and will run on any liquid hydrocarbon.

Most of the small 4cyl trucks are 65mph units. I might be able to get 75.

I am looking at a crewcab truck of some form. Gas mileage is not a big factor as I don't use it daily.
