Best thing you ever did? ? Hey . . . to each his own. I love the 6.2s - cheap to fix, cheap to run - and last a long time if you take care of them. Lost my first engine last year - in my 87 Suburban - crankshaft broke at 520,000 miles. Ran like a clock up to that point and the engine had not been apart since new.
In regard to older diesels - parts are dirt cheap for the older GM and Ford-IH IDI engines. The new trucks will certainly outrun the older engines - but part prices are out of this world - and so are the new truck prices. I enjoy having zero debt- and hope to keep it that way. If I wanted to blow $30-40,000 - I'd buy some more land - not a new truck. I'd have to pay some more taxes, but the land wouldn't rot out - or wear out - in 15 years.
