Well I have been researching.

The CRD is avg. 30mpg highway, but about 25 city.
Some people are running 100% biodiesel.
-Some of these people live in Europe
-Some of these people live in the south, ie warmer climates.

Old school Jeepers will call it a car, will point out that the tires on the vehicle are for Passenger vehicles, and that the title does not state that it is a truck… blah blah blah. Basically, they hate it. Some guys love them.
Some people are having a lot of problems with fuel, and DC does not warranty fuel issues. If you run Bio-D and it fucks up your $25k truck/car you are fucked. If you run Petro-D and it fucks up your $25k truck/car you are fucked. You have to go after the fuel supplier. With Bio-D that would be me, and if I went anywhere else, it would be a long drawn out process with more expensive lawyers than I would even want to battle in court, and would ultimately end up with me having a broken CRD in my driveway.

They do not sell CRDs in Cali, and some other NE states, like NY. You can purchase them from out of state and register them here, but I guess it depends on where you go for your inspection if it will pass or not.
Towing is a dream with this thing. No problem. Fuel consumption will drop MPG to high teens. You’re towing, you’d expect a drop, but not that much with 300TQ.
There are flashes available from the dealer to fix a lot of the problems people are having with them. If you buy from out of state, you have to go there to get flashed, NYS Delaers are not equipped to service CRDs. The 2 I have called said they do not have the tools. The 2 dealers I called in OH said that NY Dealers should have everything, but these dealers were also not aware of the fact that NYC dealers could not sell them.

The highest lift you can safely run rught now is 2.5". Anything higher and you have to replace the CV joints because they buckle at anything higher. Even a 3" lift is bad news. They have aftermarket CVs available, but thats work I don’t want to do. There are also straight axle conversions out for the front end to replace the IFS (Independent Front Suspension) but again, stuff I don’t feel like doing.
The biggest tire you can run on a 2.5" lift is 265/75.
Here is a link with a bunch of extra crap.

So as of right now. I will continue to drive my truck until these CRDs are tried and true, or until I can test drive one without driving an hr to do so. I’d also like to see where NYS Emissions standards are going for 2007, before I buy a truck/car not legal to sell here.
