In Reply to: Why buy a diesel? posted by dej(jed) on March 27, 2008 at 04:57:01:
Great discussion. I am currently using a 2006 4wd Chev 1/2 ton crew cab with 5.3 gas. My total mileage since new (now 68,000) has been 16.4. Much of this is pulling an 18' trailer with 3000-5000lbs. I am looking for a 3/4 so I can get a small gooseneck. I just cannot bring myself to pay big $$$$$ for a diesel.
Todays gas engines will live just as long as any current diesel. My family has many GM gas V/8's that are at 100,000 to 220,000 with no problems.
All the $$$ saved on diesel fuel goes out the window with one pump or injector repair.
I do think that a lot of diesel is prestige, noise and smoke. My Extra Super Duper Bully Dog is meaner than your Bully Dog etc. etc.
