So this is a great debate on the merits of GAS vs Diesel. It gets me thinking of how many of the I don't like Diesel folks have actually driven or towed with a diesel truck??
It is easy to say gas is fine and I don't want diesel cost too much too much maintenance, fuel is too expensive, etc.
Well currently a two year owner of a used 234K when bought, currently 252K Cummins, and I will not be going back to gas any time soon!
I pull a 12k 5er with a 5.9 liter straight six at or over the 55m mph speed limit through the Oregon coast range with a set of 3.55's, and it loves every minute of it.
I get 12 mpg with that load in tow, at those speeds. Even with the 5er in tow the fuel gauge hardly moves.
The post that the Gassers, that think diesel is not a good thing, should read the post from those that have finally took that step, and post Darn this pulls like a locomotive, and only sips fuel.
My 1st diesel experience was neighbor gypo logger, and my daughters Diesel VW Dasher! I learned a lot with both of those experiences.
