No real good reason except the satisfaction of doing it. I like
diesel, and I'm not terribly fond of the 6.2/6.5, and having driven a
Detroit powered truck I decided that was enough of that-the blower
noise, gear noise, smoke, etc, etc. I'm glad I got the opportunity to
drive someone else's instead of building one and finding out the hard
way.
