Are diesels worth it, for costs per mile?
Was at a car dealer out of town, and the dealer (name with-held to protect the guilty) was trying to warn me away from a diesel on the 3500 models he was selling, unless I had at least $15,000 a year ...

I just switched from a 8.1 big block gas engine to Duramax diesel in March. Truck has 4500 miles so far with towing about 900 miles and absolutely love it. I have friends and family with GM 2002, 2003, and a couple 2007 models. The 2003 has had injectors replaced but that year was known for that. Rest have been all normal maintenance. Don't know much about the other makes except a ton of Ford issues have been posted on the forum. I'm betting the dealer you were at didn't have a diesel in the model you were looking at and was steering you to a truck in stock for the quick sale. Randu
