Well, if it comes to putting a turbo on your gas engine, or buying a new diesel engine with a turbo, the decision would be pretty easy for me.... Does the diesel engine really come with the turbo? Oh, and superchargers own turbochargers all day.

so i have the option of picking up this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBYOOW

for 3G's but idk i really want my turbo kit

but the 6.5 DIESEL. i talked to the guy and he said it comes with engine mounts for my truck. would that be a smart swap

in the long run you'll save money in fuel. betther mpg. also with diesel there is so much potential its crazy i would go with the diesel.

Do it! Have a unique tahoe. You'll be happy in the long run but you WILL run into some trouble I'm sure swapping the diesel engine into a petrol made truck, but even in my engine bay not sure if everyone elses says this its a 98' 2 Door LT 4x4, it says on the right hand side something along the lines of prepped for a 6.5L Diesel and as weird as it sounds I think my truck use to be a diesel at one point. I've only owned it 2 years.
