3.2 to ?

Postby bighorn93 » Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:40 pm

Am thinking of replacing the 3.2 as gas is just to expencive ($100 to go 300k is a bit steep for :shock: ) So was wondering what diesel would be the best to go with and if my gbox will bolt sraight on.
I dont realy wanna sell so any ideas are welcome.

lpg is just as dear to run i went for a lpg hilux a few years back and it sucked...
diesel is best but the costs are creeping up too now..47 dollars for a 1000 ks mileage then reg is 408 a year so

870 odd dollars for the below average years mileage....then extra costs in oil changes every 5000ks ..
But we have a 3.2 v6 and a 3.1 turbo diesel and my diesel is still cheaper to drive about....
Oh well, can some one hook up the winch i cant open my door !!!!!!!!!
