I wonder what you diy'ers do under the hood of your truck's. In 5 years and 100,000 miles my Powerstroke saw the dealership to get a vacuum line changed under warranty. Everything else (which wasn't much) I did myself and it couldn't have been easier. Changed the oil 7 times, air filter once and fuel filters once I think......what else do you want to do to your truck.
For those that aren't so lucky, they may want to compare access and ease of maintenance on a Cummins vs. PSD in terms of replacing a starter, serpentine belt, and water pump. A friend of mine replaced all these items DIY on his '12 PSD by the time he had 110k. I helped him out. Needless to say it wasn't a cakewalk.
