Just Wondering what the reliability of newer diesels are as I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a new or slightly used truck Ford or Dodge. My old 95 runs good 7.3 diesel but you are always wondering if it is going to break down 2000 miles from home then the cost could be just too much to sink into it and cost to bring it home is also a lot. Still out on buying maybe gas but I do like the way a diesel just goes up and down hills with literally no downshifting so diesel has been what I have been looking at so far.

My '97 is as reliable as a rock but I do maintain it. Last year it needed new injector valve cover harnesses. Not a big deal. In fact, nothing has been a big deal, not even rebuilding the oil cooler. Everything is easy to get to. I plan on keeping it forever or until I pass....
