I've seen a few f150's some jeeps, 4x4 vans and even a c4 vette.

Well, if you cross a Jeep or other SMALLER SUV/CUV, let me know, could be interesting. Don't go out of your way, just if you stumble on it.

I'll do my thang. But seriously a 92-96 f150 xcsb isnt all that much larger then some of the vehicles you listed. Just sayin. Hell that's my idea of small. A normal SUV, to me, would be an Excursion

I was going to ask about the Mercedes unit that's in the Jeeps. I thought it was supposed to be an excellent smaller diesel engine.

I'm thinking more like life cycle. Will it, with proper oil changes, etc., last say 500k plus miles. I've heard people with the Volkswagen TDI (Jetta) going well beyond 500k. Certainly people are up there with the Cummins as that's really just about a commercial engine. But since I'm targeting something smaller like a Liberty sized vehicle, they do (I think) have the Merc diesel motor like your Cherokee.


I'm toying with the idea of one since I have access to lots of fry oil and making biodiesel. Apparently this can get down to way under $1 gal if you get into it. We'll have the Cummins already, so that would be two vehicles that could use it.
