I began my addiction to diesels about a year ago when I sold my Chevy Silverado with a 350 that got 9 miles per gallon couldnt pull my racecar hauler down a hill. I bought an old 1990 ford e350 with the 7.3 diesel. I get better mileage with it, and can pull my trailer anywhere, plus I make my own fuel, so that is great too. Now I have moved on to the benz and simply love it.

I often wondered if the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear blast would affect a diesel motor, I guess it may affect the radio and such, but i dont see how it would affect the engine.
