Diesel or Gas?

I bet people on diesel forums don't like gas engines.

Ive been down both roads and I love my diesel because I need it to tow and I like a decently quick vehicle too. It needs a good trans to be as quick as I want it to be, just havent decided if Im going to keep it for sure or get an LMM dually.

If you want to run mid 12s and last 300K then diesel is the winner, anything faster than that and a gas motorized vehicle makes more sense quickly.

Right now diesel is 40 cents cheaper than premium so the added mileage and cost in fuel could add up quick but who the hell knows how long the prices will stay that way.

not really, there's a gasser section on most diesel forums. i dont hate gassers, no one who knows anything about anything could hate a good American v8 like the ls motors. the only people who don't like gassers are probably the hard core towing crowd.

btw my oil (delvac) cost less then say Valvoline max life, mobile 1 synthetic, or just about any good gas oil. that's why my oil change is cheaper. and if i had gotten a gasser for 5k i would have easily sunk 4k into mods to get it to where my truck is, and then id be getting much worse mileage.

you guys need to realize they both have there advantages and disadvantages, its as if your trying to say diesels are no good for anything but towing. which i think is absurd.

never said that..... I race my truck pretty often....and my black truck probably gets the same mileage as my diesel cruising.... But my diesel is the heavy hauler.... I like, and race both... I was speaking on your point that gas vs diesel cost the same.... If you like to race diesels come on down some time. I will put the big heavy crew cab up against your Single cab.

just by a little bit lol, its all about how u spend ur money to yall have 2 totaly diff trucks Hot-Dog u bought a older base truck and have been squeezing as much power as u can out of it for as little as possible as for mic new truck plus lots of new parts, do like both of ur Diesel's though just wish i could get mine goin more got a good tune but thats about it

I'm sure everyone has a different way of getting it done. For me it is Turbo/Gas. For others they need towing hauling loads ect. You can compare gas to diesel all day and both can be made fast. Just think what a gas would be like built like a diesel. Just think what a diesel would be like if all the parts were still strong but lighter.
