if you want the mpgs, throw in a 6.6 with the allison. diesels get better mpgs than gas motors, i've heard.

Brakes could wait IMO. Just keep 'em in good shape and upgrade when you get the chance later. Unless your getting big rims or tires, if so upgrade when those go on.

i read an article last night the big 3 are making half ton diesels. chevy 4.7. ford 4.4 and dodge 5.0. excuse my ignorance on the 1500hds. still should make them. i think they'd sell pretty good. probably 4.10 gears in the back.

I wanted that 1500 diesel so bad when I traded in my Ford, but I had to get away from the Oval, I hated that truck with a passion.
