Towing in the real world. gas or diesel
I've been down the gas road in 04 and the diesel in 09. Looking to buy again. I had a lighter trailer in 04 but my siverado 6+ liter gas would just scream in a head wind. 4000 rpm was common. Bigge...

So, going off topic a bit, how much better are the 17/18 diesels than, say, an '09 Duramax?
I've got a 2500 with the Duramax with 110k miles on it. While the iron is great (no block problems, gaskets, tranny, etc), every dadblasted sensor on the thing has failed in the past 18 months, leaving me very familiar with both limp mode and AAA's towing number.
I don't want to replace the truck ....other than the sensor issues, it's perfect for what I use it for and I can't see $60k+ for a replacement......unless I have to spend thousands every couple of months on sensor replacements.
