Considering Trade from Gasser to Diesel
I have read a couple posts regarding the cost of maintenance nad/or repairs for late model diesel engines and am a bit concerned considering I am looking into trading my 09 GMC, 2500, 6.0L gasser for ...

I had an '04 F250 6.0, an '07 F350 6.0, and now a 2012 F350 6.7. Before that all gassers.
Did not have any repair costs that I had to pay for on any of the diesels, except squirrels/rats chewing wiring and vacuum hoses. Only minor other issues all covered under warranty.
Oil changes and fuel filter changes are more than a gasser. But is not prohibitive at all. I used to do my own to make it cheaper, but now just let the dealer do it. My dealer gives every 4th oil change free. So after two changes in the truck and two in the wife's car, I get the next truck oil change free. Lowers the overall costs.
