Thanks for all the information. Loos like I have a lot of reading to do. I've always been hesitant with diesels due to cost. We don't have the funds for expensive repairs and have been very fortunate that the 2 Fords we've owned have never let us down. Regular maintenance and tires have been it. I'll do a lot of research and hopefully find a great truck. Thanks again. D
FWIW, we have not had to perform any diesel related repairs to our 10 yr old truck.
2 tie rods...but that is a Chevy thing (IFE)...not diesel related...
If anything maintenance has cost less, as miles between service is greater with diesel than gas.
That has been our experience.
