I think I finally have hubby convinced that we won't live long enough to benefit from the extra cost or the 'if' better fuel mileage of a diesel. That said, reading this article is very interesting because I kept reading 'GM 8.1' which would be husbands choice over Ford. What is the difference between the Ford 6.3 and the Chevy 8.1?? which delivers better torque, horsepower and fuel mileage assuming units are identical?
I'm having a difficult picking out a 'used' unit, 2007 or new because so many are the Fords and I can't get the husband past this part.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: We currently pull a tt but it's a lot of work for him retiring in a year or so.
Give the guy a break for once....Get a DP so he can have fun too. Where's it written that one needs to get better milage or any sort of benifit in owning a diesel over a gasser???
