This is all new to me—this diesel thing. I’m on my 8th pickup since 1979 and they’ve all been gas motors. I’m seriously considering a diesel because we’re getting to the stage in life where we can pull the camper more (farther) and the extra power is appealing. But two things scare me, (1) my lack of knowledge about diesels and (2) the extra $8 grand for the DMax/Allison. That’s why I’m here asking questions.
Thanks, I'm not current on GM new advertising logo's.
If the better fuel millage is appealing and the 8k for the Dmax is a big hurdle and new truck price created sticker shock have you thought about a used Dmax ??
If you know how to put fuel in the tank with the green diesel nozzle owning a diesel is no different than a comparable big block gasser. My particular Cummins has been cheaper to operate and maintain than a comparable big block gas engine.
I check in once a month or so as gasser boyz description of owning a diesel is always entertaining :B .
