Jack, I have had two Dodge diesel pickups and am sold on them. I had a '96 and now have an '08. I might still be driving the '96 if someone hadn't drove out in front of me and totalled it. When I first bought the '96 I went through the same mental exercise as you, wondering if the diesel would be worth the extra money. I use my truck for personal use as well as towing. I have no doubt that buying the diesel was the best move. When the '96 was wrecked and the insurance company was figuring the value I found out the diesel engine added back about as much additional value to the truck as it cost me extra in the first place. In other words, there is very little if any depreciation in the value of the engine. This being said, the additional attributes of the diesel engine more than outweigh the disadvantages, in my opinion. When I went out to look for another truck I didn't even consider not getting a diesel. Mike
