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...

The new diesel's DPFs sound problematic.
And they are easy to delete. 144,000 miles with the delete done and not a single issue. It all boils down to what you are willing to do.
Around here it's rare to find a station without diesel. I've never heard first hand of anyone having water or gelling issues. It's undeniable that the power of a diesel is greater. Reliability is too if you know what you are doing and what you are getting into. I think most diesel bashers are no different than those that bashed fuel injection. It's a different animal and people fear what they don't know.
In fact I just picked up an 89 cummins for my daily driver. Unknown number of miles, automatic and runs like a top. It does not smell, leak and it cranks quicker than my 2007. In my opinion, anyone driving a 3/4 or bigger truck that gets a gas engine made a poor decision. You get a bigger truck to haul bigger loads. Get a motor designed to haul bigger loads as well. And a camper is a big load, no matter which way you slice it.
