The average price of a 1st and 2nd Gen Ram has been going up the last couple years.
I think the diesel resale value has a lot to do with the greater fool theory (real theory, google it).
The gm 6.0 vortec that I own has a B10 of 200,000 miles the duramax option in the same truck has a b10 of 220,000 miles.
A pickup truck with 150,000+ miles diesel or gas is used slam up. There is no way in the world that a diesel with 150k on the clock is worth 8-10k or more than an equivalent gasser. It just doesn't have that much more design life left in the engine and the chassis is well used on both also.
Diesel resale just comes down to the one who buys it last is left holding the bag, or wins the title of "the greatest fool".
What formula parameters did you use to come with the b10 numbers? If you buy autos from a dealer you are a part of the grater fool theory. They buy them hoping to sell them to someone for more money.
