If it's the 8.1, then it has the Allison 1000. Except for the mileage, a better truck can't really be had. It has a nearly indestructible engine, tranny, and rear end. Empty at 60mph, you'll likely get around 12-13mpg. Around town is likely around 10 mpg, and towing about the same. It would take around 100,000 miles to pay a $6000 difference.

The cheapest injectors on the market are close to 2500 for 8, with labour being above and beyond that. Every other imaginable part related to the engine being diesel will also be many times more expensive.
