So if I do this, should I do a 2wd or 4wd?

I'm still curious what the fuel mileage would be...DuraBurb said on their 3/4 ton Suburban conversions they see about 10% better mileage, but that's still a heavy truck. How much does a stock RCSS weigh? I'm guessing a half ton reg cab stepside with the diesel would be somewhere around 4500 lb? So almost half the weight of the 7600 lb monster I'm driving right now, which is averaging around 18mpg.

If the increase isn't that much I'd probably be better off building a turbo gasser, but if I could get up into the 30's the diesel would be pretty tempting.
30mpg might be tough. Ive read of some full size dmaxs getting 26ish driving slow and a lot of tuning. Either way it ought to be fun and definitely go 4wd. 2wd dmaxs are just good for a smokeshow.
