Just got back from a state park in Georgia, saw several gas jobs. The guy beside me had a Ford 6.2, asked him about it, liked the truck a lot and went to gas cause of the diesel emissions.

I always like the comments that people say they go back to gas because of the possible high cost of repairs on the diesels. I just cut a check for $5700 for a Tundra with 128,000 miles. Air pumps and heads. Also some VVT issues. Another dealer wanted to put a new engine in it. LOL

Having the air induction pumps replaced on a 2007+ 5.7 Tundra can cost $2000-$4000 ($2000 for each pump). All they do is reduce emissions upon startup---they do nothing during normal driving. If your Tundra is out-of-warranty, save yourself a lot of money and install a Tundra Air Injection Pump Bypass Kit for $150-$200 (several for sale on eBay).

FWIW, Toyota did extend the warranty on the AIP on some model year Tundras to 10yr/150k.
