In Florida you'll most likely have less problems with low mileage on a diesel than in colder climates. I owned the 2000 F250 7.3L diesel in NW WY. I drove it once a week sometimes once every two weeks. It became very unreliable. I never knew if it was going to start or break down on me. It finally broke down on the way to town in the winter and I traded it for a V10 gasser. I can leave it parked for a month, and it starts and runs, never a problem. That diesel only had about 50,000 miles on it when it was traded. I think diesels need to be driven not parked for lengthy periods. JMHO
