Diesel vs gas......................
OK folks, there have been a few to many diesel vs gas threads that have shall we say gone to "Hell and a hand basket"! So if all of you would put in you BEST, no flaming reasons for going gas vs diese...

I think there are other factors, other than RPM, that have an effect on engine life.
Seems oil change recommendations for gas engines used to be 3000 miles, now they are 5000 miles and some even longer. Seems gas engines last longer than they did and I don't know if that is true for diesels. If head gaskets fail before the engine wears out due to "friction" or "heat" wouldn't that need to be accounted for, or no? Seems people think 100k miles is a lot for a gasser, but based on what I see/read 300k is probably more likely (i.e., the Ford gassers), with just regular maintenance.
RPM isn't going to prematurely "kill" a gasser, there's more to it.
