Diesel Engine

John asked:


Ok need to know the difference between a diesel engine and gas engine? Also i really never heard a diesel engine in a regular truck before so does it sound like a diesel? If so is there a way to make it sound regular?

My diesel Jeep, which was running fine this morning, refused to start this evening. All the lights turn on, so I assume the battery is fine, but when I turn the key nothing happens at all. No sound of turning over or anything from the engine. I just got it serviced a week ago so was surprised when it wouldn’t start. What is the most likely cause and what can be checked to verify where the fault lies?

I have heard of Mercedes-Benz making what was nick named “the million mile motor” and was curious to learn some other people views were, on what the best diesel engine is. I am most intrested in gas milage, maintenance costs and reliablility. I am not concerned with semi type engines, Thank You and HAPPY EASTER.

matt asked:


I was just wondering if their was a way to replace my engine with a diesel one. The only reason I ask is I dont want to buy a new truck, becasue I had all the dings and got the frame painted not a year ago. Plus I like the 1998 Dodge Ram style better then the newer ones. I could go with a rebuilt gas engine yes but I was just wondering if you could replace the whole engine and convert it to a diesel truck.

I just bought a great vehicle that has a 4 cylinder diesel engine that gets great fuel economy but I would like to do more. I have already had it into the shop to help me reduce the occasional smoking that it does but I have seen a few people who have converted the vehicle to burn BOTH diesel and veggie oil. Dose anyone know if this alternative fuel will actually reduce my individual emissions? Are there any recourses out there to do the conversion myself? Thanx!!

Of course any diesel is superior, that’s not the point. What is in your opinion, the best truck ever made, one that was either very rare in diesel form or availible with a spark engine only?
