My rig is a 1997 12 valve cummins. In stock form it performed acceptably. It is mildly modified now. Mostly injection pump turned up and 30psi of boost. I can tell you for a fact, that this truck pulls way better than my Chevy gasser. I own a diesel because I am heavily into tractors for pulling or shows. At heaviest, I have a slide in camper on, and my Farmall H puller on the trailer. Probably around 10,000lbs all together, camper, tractor and trailer. Next year I will be getting a camper that weighs at least 1500lbs more than this one. I would dread the mountains with a gasser. Absolutely there is a difference.
If I didn't tow like I do, not sure if I wouldve gone diesel or not. This cummins gets far better mileage unloaded than a comparable gas truck. Maintenance is a wash. Most gas guys that bash diesels simply bash because they want an excuse not to do it. It's not chest thumping to me. Better mileage all the way around and much more durable.
