And another thought. Why are fleets dumping diesels like UPS and cable companies? Why is Ford introducing a rebuildable big block push rod gasser? Why? Speaks volumes.

I think it's simply because of the nature of their work, a lot of urban stop and go driving idling etc. With the current diesel emissions that doesn't work really well, semi trucks that travel on the other hand you don't see them going to gas because for them diesel makes more sense.

So the big 3, all have a new baby diesel. Everyone is all excited. A form should be signed by all who buy one so that they understand some basic issues.
Buy your diesel from high volume outlets. Keep receipts as your on your own if you get bad fuel
Buy you DEF with caution. Keep receipts. Old DEF is not covered in your warranty
Don't drive locally or idle as this will result into the engine going in a shut down mode.
Your emission system is only covered under a 3/36 warranty. EGR coolers fail frequently, cost to repair exceeds 2k.
Your intake manifold will be clogged by 75k to 100k miles.
Deleting or tuning will resolve many of the above issues but will violate your warranty and the federal clean air act.

Seems reasonable??

Other than all of that **** plus the fuel systems are time bombs, they’re real cost effective compared to a gas truck LOL. And as of today, fuel is about $1 a gallon more than gas. I just drove from Phoenix back to Nashville and it was consistently $1 or more the entire way. The reason the big 3 are reenergizing gas motors is obvious…..the new age diesels ARENT RELIABLE anymore compared to pre 2007ish. It’s just a fact. Just go ask your local dealer mechanic.
