Buying my Hemi WAS a good idea
When I first became a diesel owner (2003 or 2004), diesel was almost always 10-15% cheaper than regular unleaded where I live. Then came ULSD, and the economy moved on. Diesel became the same price...

Ib, just in case you ever start thinking about coming back from the dark side;) the new ones heat up in just minutes, a pleasant surprise after driving my forever stone cold 2001.

:W SSHHHHUUSHHH! Don't tell IB that are 4th gens warm up fast like the gas trucks! I would hate for him to go drive one and have to trade that brand new truck.....:B
My buddy has a 2014 and he says the same thing, guess they have fixed that! :) Good thing. I froze my butt off in my 2002 and my 2007 - except when we took it on road trips. After 20-30 min at highway speed it would warm up.
I think these guys forget our temperatures!! City driving in -20C the needle won't budge off cold, even with an expensive winter front. I have a short commute of 10km in stop and go traffic, I pretty much hate my truck from November/December to March (I now use a cheap, used commuter car). I wonder how the new diesels heat up in our weather IB. I concur about the highway driving road trips, that was the only time the old barrel of hammers would warm up. Last Christmas, we had a cold snap of -38C, the cab of the truck was pretty chilly.
