When most people think gas vs. diesel. They seem to remember gassers as having points,carburetors, stuck chokes, stuck heat riser valves, vapour lock, wet weather starting problems and 3000 mile tuneups/oil changes. Automatics are remembered as three speed, without an auxiliary cooler, no lockup converter and no overdrive. These same people then recall diesels as having an air filter, oil filter , a mechanical Bosch inline P pump. They also recall diesel costing 3/4 the price of gasoline. Or "better yet" that tank of "farm fuel" in the yard. And vehicle bodies and frame that had rust holes perforated through in 3-5 years. Now lets get into the 1980's,1990's and 2000's. Rapid depreciation due to a currently slow economy.The price of the diesel option. Diesel emissions equipment. Failing high pressure common rail injectors. Particulate exhaust filters. The price of fuel. Lower diesel mileage with the 2007 and later models Gassers going 100,000 miles with just oil & filter changes. A new diesel pickup is 99% ego & status. Status by the way is. Purchasing things you don't need with money you don't have to impress people you don't like.
