I think the costs of maintaining gassers and diesels are about equal. Gassers will consantly need plugs, wires (nickel and diming you), while diesels main things to wear out are pumps and injectors and cost ALOT to repair/replace, but they usually last a loooong time. I had a '96 Ford F250 with the 7.3 Powerstroke with 170k miles on it and only problem i had with it on 2 years of owning it was batteries and other small things that go with owning any vehicle. Like the young fool I am, I traded that (paid for) truck in on a used '03 Dodge 2500 with the Cummins and at this time it has 97k miles on it and other than replacing a fuel pump I've had no trouble with it. I'm not the type that likes to start and stop a diesel all day so when i'm driving around town i usually drive my junkie gas powered Dodge Dakota. If you do lots of towing, diesels are the way to go. but if you just need a pickup to run around in and haul the occasional bed frame for friends, there is nothing wrong with a gasser.
