We always seem to forget that the engine may last but the rest of the truck may not. Either gas or diesel really doesn't matter. It's up to want you want, each has there own advantages and disadvantages. Gas does what it needs to at a higher rpm, no big deal. Diesel does it lower but has to deal with all the newer emissions junk. You gotto pay to play as they say. Your money get what you want. I have had both and will say that I like them both, enjoy what you drive and drive what you need and what the pocket book tells you to.

I guess most of you are too young to remember the growing pains of early emissions equipped gas engines, run on and hot cat converters, air pumps. Now days it is just part of the engine.
Emissions equipment have only been on diesels for 9 to 13 years, depending on the brand, car have been working on it for about 40 years.

Yes sir your right, I can recall some of those 70s cars and trucks, but not much since I was really young then. I stated driving in the 80s and have seen a change in the emission systems for gas engines for sure. I think that diesel will get there, may take some time but it appears that the def systems are doing ok. I like your older dodge, it's a great truck, my parents had one, think it was an 96 with the Cummins. Fantastic diesel for sure. Plus your blessed with no emissions so I can see a big value there. They had several Powerstrokes since then and a Dmax. Now they have a 2011 ram 3500 4x4 with the 6.7. So far I think they are north of the 150k mark, had a few issues with the Dpf but trucks got a lot of power. Cummins makes a good engine.
