It's great that so many gas and diesel owners are happy. I just dropped off our large excavator after pulling it with our dump truck. To pull really large loads the only choices are diesel powered. Why is that? Why is it that all of our heavy equipment is diesel powered? Why aren't there any good gas powered pieces of heavy equipment? As many gas fans will be quick to point out, the diesles in our pickups aren't the same as what are in heavy trucks or equipment, but they certainly have similarities.
There is a real lack of logic at times when folks choose to knock the diesel pickup. If you're happy with gas, that is fantastic, if it works well for you and you are satisfied, that is great.
There are valid reasons why heavy trucks and heavy construction equipment are diesel powered, and there are no gas alternatives though. I have an equipment trailer setting in our yard with a 450 setting on it. If anyone has a gas powered rig that they think can move it, bring it on over and we'll let you hook up to it. Or maybe there is a gas powered, heavy duty truck that I'm not aware of? Tell me of a gas powered excavator that I can replace our 120 with.
I applaud those that are happy with their gas trucks. Just please quit trying to use nonexistent logic to explain why a gas engine can outwork a diesel engine.
