Gas trucks generally get terrible mpg's,but are a good bit cheaper to maintain..Diesels get great mpg's and last twice as long so you make your money back.If you get a pre emision diesel (2007 and earlier),that will eliminate the most common problem on a modern diesel,which is the emission system.Diesels have a higher price tag (as well as resale value) but you should expect to get 400k-500k miles,maybe more if taken care of so it pays for itself.Pre emission engines can be worked on pretty easily by the home mechanic..And I am sure you will appreciate the extra power and fuel mileage.I am not trying to push towards diesels,after all,there are some applications a gas truck is better,for instance,if you don't need 3/4 ton or larger and a 1/2 ton would be more than enough,in which case it would be gas,but it really depends on your needs,and obviously it will be your truck,so make sure it works for you.I personelly would not want a diesel with all the emission junk,so if given the choice between that and gas,I would take a gas truck first.I have seen way too many people spend $60k on a truck,then in 5 years the emission system sends false readings and over heats the engine with out warning,blowing up the engine that costs $15k to replace.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
