Yes,

They show part numbers for Sidekick kits but only have photos of Samurai converted.

Cool!  I've got a 98 sidekick 4dr automatic that's been a dream, but at 225K miles its needing some help and I wanted to go diesel.  What should I look for and look out for in this venture?  Cost ranges and accessories please...
Thanks again,

Go to the diesel section at Zuwharrie, there are hundreds of threads on this subject.

It can be cheaper than a 16v swap if your thrifty.

I was thinking about a TD as well. Anyone have a SOLID price on the final result? Just wondering for budgeting...

There is no set price on how much it cost. I've heard people spending as little as $500 and as much as $5000
