Would you buy diesel again?
Those of you that have a newer diesel truck, 2015 and up, would you do it again?
Forum Discussion
Mountaincowboy and Jefe others with the older diesel mindset, like me also understand the 500 k to million mile concept. Even as late as the 24 valve Cummins is still a good option with guys in our truck forum getting up close to the 500 k mark with one reaching the million mile mark and beyond. It turns out the injection pumps on these are one of the easiest to change and with e few minor upgrades are running a reasonable distance. The injectors are 400 bucks new and are easy to change as well.
You also have the mindset revealed on this thread of a lots of folks that like to trade every so often and don't want to deal with problems. Dealers really appreciate this sort of mindset and as such great for the economy. Who can blame them for wanting the latest luxury in a truck?
I find it so very amazing the extent of knowledge coming from guys that know how to keep an older diesel running for a very long time. Some of these guys are very smart and so very unbelievably helpful.
I myself enjoy the ease of an easy to work on older diesel, no smog, enough power. Let the power hungry guys fly on by. I go for safety, miles and mileage. Love the sound of a well running smooth diesel I have a hand in keeping it run so well.
