I would, but I'm crazy.... But, actually, Its really close to my driving a
civi blazer 4 days a week with the A/C busted, all you would do (sorry to
all the purists out there) is get a comfortable seat cover.

Any competent mechanic could do it

Make sure they are experanced with the 6.2 diesel and any other diesel's

TAMSAR's cucv routinely pulls the support trailer, which last time we
checked weighed in at around 5700Lbs... I tried pulling that with my
350-equipped blazer, and my gas mialge went to hell at around 7-8 mpg
highway, which was bad when you are in the middle of nowhere with only a 20
gal tank.
the diesel's should do alot better.
