HAHA! Yea real blingy. I hated putting those on, but they sure got the attention. It actually rode very nice. My company colors are yellow and black, so it seem to fit. Oh well, truck is now gone anyway. Just used it during the filming and got rid of it.

Did you do anything to the motor? I love the power those Power Stokes have stock!

How does the Propane fit into things, what does it do?

I have seen more and more vehicles in the PHX area with stickers on the back that say "Propane" or "CNG".

I know that you can convert vehicles to run on straight Propane - is that was you and others are doing?

Benefits?

Thanks

Sorry for slow reply--been crazy at work.

Propane on a diesel is like nitrous on a gas engine. Main difference is that the diesel engine actually burns more fuel and is cleaner. Therefore you get more out of your diesel. I was getting about a 3mpg increase plus had serious power.
