Ford 7.3L GASSER rumor confirmed

I never expected this to turn into such a gas vs diesel debate. I guess that I have been lucky and have had very reliable engines compared to what most people seem to have had. Only being stranded once in 40 years of driving and raising 4 kids (none of whom has ever been stranded) seems to be very unusual. The main point of this thread is that there is a new gas engine coming out and it might be an attractive option for some people that don't really need diesels and don't want to spend the extra $8K. I think that is good news and am looking forward to it. Some people seem to feel threatened by it and I really don't understand why.
