Looking for those that made the switch from a gas TV to a diesel some questions.
1. Happy with your choice?Could not be happier.
2. Are maintenance cost as high as you were lead to believe?No. Other than 3 gallons of oil vs 5 quarts at oil change time i see no difference. Modern trucks can be expensive no matter what engine is under the hood.
3. What gas rig did you switch from, to which diesel?My last gasser was a E350 Ford van with a 460 in it.
4. What are you pulling and what is its GVW?My current fiver scales ready to go at 13,500 pounds
5. Will your next TV be Gas or Diesel? To be honest this is my last truck. At my age and with as low of miles on this truck it should last us well enough i could pass it on to my grand kids for their enjoyment
Just looking for honest feedback from those that have stepped from gas to diesel as a TV. This is NOT a gas vs. diesel, but real life feedback from those that have changed to diesel both positive and negative.
To the moderators, this is NOT a gas vs diesel post, looking for honest feed back from members who have made the switch, and if it was a positive or negative experience for them.
