My diesel never was higher in maintenance costs than my gas trucks.
To be fair, the newest breed of Diesel is a far cry from the good old simple Diesel engine. It's incredibly difficult to go out and buy a new pre-emissions Diesel 1 ton these days in the States.
And todays gas engines aren't? :R LOL
DI engines
Turbos
Cam phasers
Multi cam engines
Multi valve engines
High pressure injectors
5 miles of cam chains
Muti fuel sensors and fuel systems
I've owned both and "my" diesel engines cost less to operate overall than my gas engines. Not a lot, but less. And they sure as hell pulled a LOT better.
