You may think you are mother trucker hauling 60ton on the interstate across both mountain ranges. And driving 125,000 miles per year. News flash. You have a light duty application with intermittent use as a truck and 95% usage as a passenger car. We are not talking about municipal diesel generator sets or marine diesels.Operating at 100% power 24/7. Ever compare the cost of the diesel fuel, oil and trans filters vs. the gasoline filters? Ever note the difference in the amount of oil at each change? You seem to be stuck in 1985 with carburated 350 four barrels making 148HP. With a non lockup three speed automatic. Vs. a Dodge Cummins with just a P pump, a non waste gated turbo and a 5 speed manual. Lets roll the clock ahead to reality in the 2012 /2013 models years. Lets see? A diesel with glow plugs, variable vane turbo, cooled EGR, 30,000psi injection system. Particulate filter, cat converter, two batteries, two alternators and urea injection. Vs a direct injection gasser with spark plugs that last 100,000 miles. Or do you still change gasser plugs every 3000 miles? No distributor. No carb. No choke plate or choke linkages. No heat riser valve. No V-belts. No EGR valve. One battery, one alternator. Which truck will require $$$ parts to keep rolling? How much better mileage does the diesel have to have to make up for the 40cents per gallon higher price. You are beat there before we even mention the extra 10 grand for the diesel option.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
