Long term plans are to have lots of power sapping accessories... camper
with deep cycle batteries, those KC lights alone pull almost 34 amps...
and I want to add some more forward lighting and perhaps aux rear
lighting. On board electronics such as laptop, GPS, cell phone,
DC-to-AC inverter for the camper... CB Radio, winch, I know "you won't
use all those at the same time!" But lets just say I want to build this
truck with redundant systems and more capability than stock. I'm
figuring out a dual fuel tank set up as well.
Thing is I'm flakey on the engine choice again. The 318 in there now
would do just fine, but I keep wondering if a Liberty CRD diesel engine
would be a nicer option :) Too bad the crate engine Mopar Performance
was rumored to build, seems to have fallen by the Fiat wayside.
