Gas, what, his is a diesel(as in diesel fuel only).

You want to go fast, get a 454(gas). You want fuel mileage get a 6.5(diesel). You want both get a D-max(diesel).

fast? before the rebuild im doing i could hit 200kmh in my burb. id say thats pretty fast for a roughly 7000# truck.:D

Assuming you CAN find what you want, most of the 1 ton dually are Turbo Diesel.

The trouble is that the truck has a bad rep by the time it gets to that year so it has become scarce so it is hard to find. The people who bought it usually does not want to sell it until it gets to 200k or more.

Just wait and watch autotrader, craigslist, etc. to see if somebody wants to sell it.

3rd door option only was available on 1/2 ton.
started in '96, as an option.
i needed a 3/4ton, so, no third door.
almost would prefer a standard cab, hate having that space and no way really to get to it.

i have 3.73's, drive 60 mph, keep it at 1800 rpm on cruise and just pulled in 21.8 mpg. i didn't correct for tire size so it might be a little higher than that but i'm not complaining. after the 1st 2 days i thought the gauge was messed up. i put 600 miles a week going back and forth to work. this is in the 96. 93 isn't on the road yet.

i would buy a 454 big block nice engine it is. i want fuel economy and to go fast and be able to pull alot. im big on truck pulls. my 305 has beaten 350's and 396's in pulls. i will keep a look out on craigslist and auto trader. if i can i will def. buy a d-max

The trucks kind of suck stock, with a few mods they can be quick and powerful and also decent on fuel mileage.

My 94 2WD 1/2 ton if I can keep it to 65MPH gets about 23MPG on the highway, but it has the 3.42 gears, so although its quick, not as much as the lower geared guys. The light duty trucks are just that lighter, the 1500s and 2500s that have the emissions equipment. But that stuff can be removed.

well i need a 4x4 or z71 4x4 laast winter up here in chicago we had a horrible ice storm. that was the coldest it got. and my 2wd got stuck on it. plus i love muddin.
