I started making the switch from gas to diesel about 4 years ago. Have two diesels now. I mostly just fool around with the smaller Fords - 3000, 4000, etc. Had a real nice running gasser in my 3000 then found a new engine cheap so I made the switch. I do miss the gasser. It was sooo quiet compared to the noisey, rattly diesel in it now. Diesels stink like he77 too. Both if you get some fuel on you and out the exhaust pipe. Get some on your shoes and jump in the GF's car and you'll be hearing about it for a while. Another thing is starting a diesel in cold weather. Yesterday morning I needed to move the tractor and hadn't the foresight to plug it in for a couple of hours first. About 25° out and it didn't want to fire up so I had to give it a whiff of devil juice which I don't like to do. My gasser would have started instantly in much colder temp than that. Over the course of a year I don't run them more than about 100 hours - snow plowing and mowing and such so fuel consumption isn't a big deal.
