[QUOTE="J&D Cattle, post: 941006, member: 18854"] If the truck is a full time driver I would go single wheel diesel. Maintenance costs more on a diesel but if you do it yourself your about the same price as having your service done at a shop for a gas engine. If you drive much the additional miles per gallon will weigh out too. My Dodge diesel now sits but maybe 2 days a month since I got a gas getter recently. I like the diesel as when I want to tow a load I want to get down the road. I love the power and torque of a diesel motor. I'd get a Dodge first but since that isn't an option do the research on the specific year of the motor you are buying. Had a buddy I warned twice not to buy a 04 Ford Powerstroke and within a week he was spending $2500. Another buddy has probably the same money in his 03 Duramax on 2 issues that are very common to that year motor. All brands have good and bad years it seems. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
