Diesel vs gas for truck campers?
Have posted a few questios phere on the truck camper forum asking for help in down sizing to a TC and thanks for the help so far, I have been going over the weights of the TC's that we have looked at...

Vinsil, thanks. I have had my '96 Dodge 12-valve since 2001, and put over 175000 miles on it. I have personally highly modified the fuel system, and never had any of the issues discussed. I do my own repairs, which have been few on the '96. I guess it is not a modern diesel. I recently acquired a '04 Dodge dsl with about 100000 miles. I know the previous owner, and they did very little maintenance and never had any issues with it.
I don't think I would be interested in any of the diesels from about 2010 and newer, Dodge, Ford or GM.

I hear ya. Had a 12 valve, 1999 24 valve and then the 7.3 powerstroke.
My 6.7 just turned 90k and I put a water pump on it (common for the mileage) and no issues either. I'd be Leary of the newer ones too out of warranty...but m young enough that I'll own one someday. :(
