[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 888429, member: 4786"] Gotta agree with AC on this one too. Unless you are using it daily a diesel is not worth the money in my book. Any of the new gas ¾ will get around 15mpg vs 17-20 mpg for a diesel. When you factor in the extra initial purchase cost and the extra .60 to .90 cents a gallon you are going to pay for fuel, it is very hard justify a diesel financially. Figure in repair costs and you are going to have an even harder time. Case in point, had to put my company medium duty Duramax in the shop, came out with a $7,200 repair bill. I about croaked when I signed the receipt. They have since switched over to Ford V10s. The reason they gave us was the much lower repair costs; $7,200 would get you a new engine and transmission on about any gas rig. [/QUOTE]
