Diesel or Gas?

[TurboMic]

lol... whatever guys, diesels suck and gas is better. if i say anything you guys will have a comeback for it.

we could argue this all day, its just not worth my time.

the best justification...Whatever...
lol, do you want us to just agree and say "your right".....I own both, and have for a long time. You cant tell me its even close on price gas vs diesel.... 30k for gas truck, 40k for diesel new... sure u can find a used one...then maint.. if you service your own or pay someone to do it.... Its a lot more for diesel.. at least twice as much... fuel filter, that needs to be changed twice as much as gas... $40 3-4 times a year vs $7 once every 1-2 years....then 10 ply tires...on and on...lol... Its not even close.... so why are you trying to say it is?

blah, blah, blah

maintenance for my truck has been cheap. and i surely have less money in my rig then 90% of this forum does on there gas rigs. i have said it before, if your gonna buy a new truck, then diesel is a rip off. if fuel filters are your biggest concern you really aren't proving a whole lot, the difference in fuel mileage more then makes up for it. its a stupid argument, it depends so much on how you do things and how much you pay in the first place.

turbomic - you obviously haven't done either your gas truck or you diesel truck on any kind of budget so were talking apples and oranges here.

turbomic - budget

[TurboMic]

lol, your right..... its cheaper to buy 10 qts of oil than 6 qts..... and when diesel was over $5 a gallon.... it was costing me $100 every fill up...lol... what kind of budget we talking about....lol....your getting the wrong idea here... I love my diesel for pulling.... I ran 454s and then bought an 8100 in 01 when they came out....I put 150k - 175k a year on my diesels...I know the advantages of them....but mileage is not enough to make up for the added cost of maint alone..... Not to mention the up front cost of the truck... Its been proven time and again... Diesel power did a huge write up on it a while back.... it would take like 20 years of the mileage benefit to over come the added cost of the diesel....lol.....im sure you will never agree with this..... i know your truck is used, if you got it for 8k.... then you could have got the same truck with a gas for 5k......

I love both my trucks diesel and gas, yes the DMAX is way more expensive if you blow it up but if you do everything right they will last a long time (much stronger than the gas motor) also the allison blow it up buy a stage 2 or 3 kit from ats and build it yourself (yes they are very easy trans) if ur not that mechanically inclined they idk what to tell you besides you are about to spend some money on a built trans. I would suggest to go test drive one of each go from there

diesels are good for diesel mecahanics

...keep buying them and breakin em yall are gonna make me rich!!!

they are awesome for pulling and the torque that some of the new ones can put out is ungodly but toe to toe factoring in intial cost and matainence and parts gasoline is the way to go FTW!! unless you do like Mic said and keep it for 20+ yrs. . . .just my
