Down in Florida. I’m familiar with them and watched a few of their videos. They will do the 1/2 ton Burb but it isn’t optimal. I just figure if I was going to go diesel with a Burb I would get the most simplistic, bulletproof engine that is widely available. If I had the money and could find one, a Mercedes OM606 would be another strong choice.
