Dodge - Diesel or gas?
Already know my new truck will be a 2014 Dodge SRW Crew Cab 4x4 with auto tranny. What I don't know is if I should go with the new 6.4 or diesel. Worked outthe numbers and the cost for my use of 15k...

I sold a 1979 Chev 1500 with a 454 last year, I didn't drive it for the last 10 years is why I sold it. It had 440,000 miles, it had a steel crank, 7 qt. oil pan, only did the values ones, nothing else ever. 3 trans, 3 rad., 6 or 7 starters, but nothing to the motor. It pulled a 36 ft. goose neck around picking up old cars in the late 70's and 80's. I don't see that many diesel doing that today. Paid $7200 for it new sold it for $2500. Cost $3700 to own for 33 years, Gas good, diesel less good.
You are talking small sample size anecdote with a 1979 carbureted engine with no pollution control vs large sample size and newer technologies.
Evidence and reason= Good, Anecdotal outlier = outlier.
