If you do full processing on the oil then no mods to the truck needed. Only need to Mod if you are going to run a greasel (straight filtered oil).

From what I have been reading its mainly a filter and a pre-heater. I have two tanks so I thought maybe I could convert one. Not ready to jumo yet but the price of fuel is making me think real hard.
www.greasecar.com is one site I have looked at.

A golf cart should be just under 1,000#. I don't think that will overload my 3/4 ton truck with the AS in tow. I actually sized my Equal-i-zer hitch to take that much into account.

Electric scooters aren't an option.

I was more concerned with unloading it and loading it up in the bed. Are you getting some ramps installed for this?

I have a pair of aluminum ramps that are rated for 750# each that are made for loading into truck beds. They have a safety cable that hooks onto the bumper so that they don't slip off the lip of the tail gate. I bought them a couple of years ago to load and unload my riding lawn mower. I found the same ramps on a golf cart accessory web site a couple of nights ago.
