For the life of me I can't figure out why diesel owner's continuously start these threads for the umpteen billionth time. It's like they need to repeatedly keep justify their decision to buy a diesel. You don't need anyone else's permission to buy a diesel. If your happy - great! If you're trying to prove something, you're not succeeding, so give it up. Those that want a diesel own a diesel, those that don't, don't. They remind me of hawkers at the county fair. The more threads they open the more I suspect they are trying to sell snake oil.
It's for the many people that buy gas because they are told that diesels cost more to own. If you are happy with your purchase and don't like these threads then don't read them. I'm not the OP and could really care less what someone buys I just like threads that give people good info. Take it how you want. Maybe you keep reading the umteen billion threads because you want to find a way to justify what you bought?
Why would I have to justify spending $8,000.00 less for a truck that does everything I ask it to and has a higher payload to boot?
In hindsight now that I think about it you did provide me with an awakening though. They'll never quit no matter what. Sayonora.
My diesel has only 90# less than the highest payload gas in the same make and model configuration. If you are running that close to your payload then you need a bigger truck or you're like me you don't pay any attention to that number. Truth be known, a V6 gas would do what you need to do but not as easily as the V8 and definitely not as easy as a diesel.
I'm not saying you have to justify spending $8,000 less. I'm just saying that by the survey posted earlier, by buying gas you are just not getting the $8,000 back later like the diesel truck would get you.
If a simple discussion about the subject bothers you so bad then why even bother reading the threads or posting in them? You could have stopped after reading the survey. See Ya at the top of the hill......eventually.
