Do you want a diesel or do you want the cheapest cost per mile?
Depends of the difference between gasoline and diesel at the pump. The difference in purchase price and how long you are keeping the vehicle. Around here even if oiled a 15 year old vehicle is a rusted out piece of trouble. Depends on how many trailer miles and how many non trailer miles.
Before the diesel breaks even on fuel costs. The truck can be in the scrap yard before it breaks even if you have to pay for non warrenty work.
The gasser has no carb, heat riser valve, no Egr on some, no glow plugs, no turbo, single battery, single alternator, a low pressure injection system. No particulate filter, no urea injection, no waste gate, no trans oil filter, less crankcase oil, cheaper fuel and oil filters.
The gassers are 345 to 403HP. A long way from the old 145HP 350 four barrel.
Don"t let somebody tell you the diesel will outlast the gasser either. A pickup is a light duty application, it"s not a ship propulsion engine . 300, 000 miles on a gasser that still runs great is a common occurance.
Of course some guys just have to have a diesel. Don"t know if it"s status, the sound, the smell or what. I don"t see any classes at the drag strip for who has the best 1/4 mile time with a loaded trailer. The gasser does just fine hauling a load.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father ... [Read Article]
