Just hook everything up as normal,leave your selector valve set to drivers side tank. When to run the passenger side tank syphon the diesel ad a couple of gallons of gas drive it a couple of days syphon it again. Fill it,done.

Welcome to the club fella. I just passed up a Canadian GMC that was a 5.7 diesel. Good luck in your swap & daily driver.

Thanks! Where abouts are you located, don’t see many 5.7 diesels left. Mine was actually made that the Oshawa Ontario plant a few minutes from where I live. I’ve yet to see another one so far (just curious where you saw it)

I'm in central NC. This truck I looked at was a loaded Sierra Grande. All power, tilt, cruise. It had a Starburst in the door with Canada inset. I passed on it due to price & condition.

That’s hilarious mine is a loaded sierra grande with all the same options, I only bought mine due to how unique it was and the body was immaculate knowing the how bad the motors could be but was still worth the price I got it for
