...it's fun to show how the cost advantage of a diesel went down the tubes when they doubled the cost of the diesel option since I purchaed my 2000 7.3 PSD and 2003 6.0 PSD and that diesel is now up to 85% more than gas at some stations.:B

The problem with that argument is many of us have excellent diesel tow vehicles who have realized a significant savings over the life of our trucks. It took me about 3½ years of fuel savings to pay for my diesel option and I now have a truck worth significantly more than the equivalent big block for trade-in or sale value. Even with the current cost of diesel fuel, it would be cheaper for me to drive this truck than the big block gasser I had previously and the gasser didn't do the job as well when towing heavy. Maybe if you put some variation to your argument, rather than spew the same tired rhetoric, you wouldn't look so much like a desperate troll.

I am not YOU, I had a 2003 6.0 PSD Excursion that was too small for 9-12 people and luggage for long trips to Florida etc and was at the end of the 6.0 PSD warranty so I sold it when diesel was less than gas last year. Humor me by saying the 2003 6.0 PSD is a great engine to have after the 5 year warranty runs out.
