That is young! :O Keep her for shure if she drives a dirty diesel. What is "moded to the max"? Forced induction or you played in the ECU?

If you mean by "dirty diesel" one that is rolling "coal" then i''ll have to disappoint you,.. it might look cool but it is a waste of fuel and IMO annoying as hell + it gives diesels a bad rap,..we are not into that. i prefer to use all the fuel available to make the vehicle ...go.

"Modded to the max" means every addition or deletion possible done to increase engine performance and reliability and that includes but is not limited by increasing the Turbo boost and re-programming the ECM.

Dirty diesel by just the motor itself. Diesel motors are cool. Yea "smoke and lope" shows are cool, but a waste and gunk up the motor. All tho, it is normal sometimes for a diesel to burn a little black when the pedal is on the floor (running a little rich).

I bet that thing must haul! I've always wanted a Cummins 4btu in my Ranger, but I don't have skills to do a motor swap.

I don't think a ranger is enough truck for a cummins anyway.
I have a 95 12 valve cummins sitting in my shop, been toying about swapping it for the 6.5 td if or when it happens to blow in my 98 GMC 2500.
