Jumping off the Diesel Bandwagon - UPDATED
Well, after two Cummins diesels that I thoroughly enjoyed, I am going to place a factory order for a RAM 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi, 4.10 gears, rear air suspension, Laramie and plenty of added options. ...

You won't get an argument from me ib516. I've had my '11 F250 6.2 gas for 38 months with no regrets. And my previous truck was an 05 CTD 6 speed manual so I know what gobs of power they have!!!
But when I got rid of the big camper and the Jeep on a trailer I didn't need all that power. And my pockets are not deep enough to own a diesel out of warranty.
When I bought it there was it's twin sitting beside it with the diesel for $8000 more. 3 years later with 24K miles that 8 grand just paid for my gas!! OK, now I'm out of warranty and have to start buying my own gas. But I still feel better about the whole thing as if something happens to the gas it is much cheaper to repair and IMHO less chance of something happening.
OTOH I am not hauling much either. My pop up TC with an enclosed trailer of toys or even my TT with boat behind only total 8K.
Enjoy that new truck!!!!
