It's not new math, it's simple math. I can have the dealer change

my synthetic oil, filter, run a free diagnostic check on the entire

system, check all the lights, tires, brakes, TEST and top off all

fluids. $35. At the dealership. Not a private business.

My time invested is setting in the driver's seat watching the

"mechanics" do the work on camera so I can see what they do.

$90 at home plus my time without all the extras?

I talked to a gentleman this morning at brunch. He has basically

the same truck I do but with the diesel. He commutes out of state

continuously for his job and hauls a 40 foot camper to live in.

Many of the places he travels to requires traveling over mountains.

I think he makes a good case for paying the extra for the diesel

engine and it's maintenance. He did mention that the DEF changes

could be quite an issue if you didn't plan accordingly.

Diesel here is about 50 cents per gallon more than gas.

His truck gets, on average, 3 MPG more than my gasser.

Not 9 compared to 16.

And, as of yet, we haven't even figured in the cost of the tuner

and all the other modifications to get a truck to that point.

I have no beef against the diesel truck, or the guys that own

them, other than those idiots with the 12 inch stacks "rolling

coal" just to prove how much money they spent on an already

too expensive truck that they never use at all.
