    '86 6.9 NA vs. '93 6.5 TD

    you will get more power out of the 6.5L, as long as kept stock it should be fine. you'll get a nicer looking truck too, and an overdrive trans.

    yes there are aircare tests here in vancouver bc, but its easy enough to get aroung them with a truck, raising a GVW to 5001 will negate the need for aircare testing on any size of truck......:D thats to bad you didn't get a newer p-pumped dodge, but i guess you can still make some ponies with...
