That $8000+ you don't have to drop on a diesel will buy plenty of gas for a 6.0 GM. Also: diesel is running about an 85 cent/gallon premium over gas in this area!
I said that to when I had a gas motor but now that I have the diesel I disagree. If you buy a diesel at the end of the year like I did you can get a heck of a deal. It ate up almost all of the negative equity that I had. If I had no negative equity I would have only paid $2500 more dollars for the diesel than my gas truck.
I bought my 2013 last November and there were $7,500 in factory rebates (that didn't include my GM retiree discount). The Duramax/Allison option is something like $8,300.
You have to dig for the rebaTES because they're not all advertised. $1,500 of that was a rebate for buying diesel I found the night before we signed the papers the salesman didn't know anything about...and he's one of the good ones.
That being said, I was lucky to find almost the exact truck I was looking for that late in the model year.
