As a general comment, exotic cars packed with engineering and technology that push what's possible to the limit always came standard with frighteningly high repair costs, but folks figured if you could afford to buy the car, you could afford to get it fixed. Seems like some of that is trickling down into our everyday trucks. After reading stories about $10,000 HPFP failures, $3000 injector jobs and $5000 head gasket repairs it scares me to think about buying a new diesel.
Thats the problem i've ran into, I bought my truck new in 99' selling myself on the higher price of the diesel because the thinking at the time was that with normal use it would give me double the life of a gas truck. I think that used to be the case but with the new emissions standards and manufacturers constantly trying to one up eachother they have pushed these things so close to the limit that 3-4-5 hundred thousand miles is more the exception rather than the rule now.
