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...

jumbo...that is surprising...thanks for digging that up. We throw those numbers around a lot...never thought to research it.
One thing to keep in mind as grayghost pointed out (BTW I do feel bad about your experience) there were some years with diesel when the new emission regs kicked in that might be best avoided. The 2007-2010 years were not the best times for diesels as the Mfrs were still sorting out the technology they would use to meet new emission standards.
Pre 2007 and since ~ 2011 diesels are awesome...all 3 of them. The older ones did not have the emission standards we do now and the latest gen are just incredible.
The economy of the older Cummins is legendary, and the tq/hp of the newer diesel is just mind boggling as well as decent economy.
I would avoid the 2007-2011 years (you can research the different brands to find out exactly when they changed their emissions technology).
We have owned both. I'll stick with diesel.

I was lucky and got my 07 6.7 cummins with the delete already done. It's had no issues and out performs my 7.3 powerstroke in almost every aspect. If you know what too look for, they can be had and be cheaper even. All because of a reputation that's due to a removeable part. :B
