Everything You’ll Need to Pull Off a Diesel Conversion, Plus a Little More.
Luckily, thanks to the automotive aftermarket, there’s help as conversion parts do exist. Tons of them! We’ve put together a small list of diesel conversion specific products as well as a massive list of vendors who can help you swap a diesel into your ride. We’ve also gone back through the archives and picked our favorite, top 10 diesel converted rigs from the past few years.
Older diesel SUVs are definitely a sought after and desirable breed, but what kind of SUV should one buy? Excursions have plenty of room but often come with the troublesome 6.0L powerplant; Jeeps aren’t fullsize, and older Blazers and Suburbans can only be bought with tired old 6.2L or 6.5L engines.

It was a truck Steven Giordano had seen listed on his local Craigslist for weeks.

Especially, when you consider it came from users in the field before International’s marketing department got hold of it. The DT466 legend crosses into the industrial, agricultural and truck realms, but it was the medium-duty truck world where it made the biggest impact.
2020 was the year of cancelled events. Nothing was what it was supposed to be with the ‘Rona running rampant everywhere. Social gatherings of any kind were being limited all spring and summer long but come fall, some areas were starting to loosen up the reins a bit and a few things could start happening. Luckily, one of those things was Weekend on the Edge, hosted by Edge Products at their Ogden, UT facility
