glenn my thoughts are this, each engine manufactor wants to make engines for a certain use ,but have to meet standards set by US goverment,so to get fleet wide x miles per gallon thay have car and LIGHT duty truck manufactors install in there vechicles and fleet wide x gallons per mile goes up.and thay sell more engines.to gm, dodge ( you dont see mb diesel engines in dodge trucks?),and ford.now i worked in gm dealerships for 32 years,but toyota and nissan are selling gas engines but going for better brakes and transmissions. drive trains, in 1/2 ton trucks.i know my old(miss) 72 elcamino 454 , 3 speed auto would move but to stopping was something else.i have 91 454 4 speed 1 ton and it will move any thing i feael it needs to move or will have freind with freightliner move it.so if a diesel is going to cost 4 or 5 thousand more and i can replace my 454 two or three times to cost of a diesel pick up and have same maintance per mile, i got to go gas
my thoughts joe
