Seems like a pretty nice difference to me. Performance-wise, the diesel suffers a quick turbo lag, then pulls as hard or harder than the big block and stays right with it in acceleration tests. With a modest chip, the diesel walks away from a big block in acceleration. My diesel costs me less in yearly maintenance than my big block did, due to longer oil change intervals.
Not enough of a difference in mpg between the two imop. The cost and maintenance as well as performance when not towing much more fun in a gasser. I would not argue they are better for towing no doubt about it!!!
Did I miss anything?
