I've read more horror stories about putting gas in a diesel than horror stories of people who have had significant issues with diesels.
In my neighborhood there have been 6 diesels all racking up at least 150K miles, several in the 250K miles range and non of them have had any out of ordinary engine issues. Yes, the old 7.3's did have a few crank position sensor problems, but at that time many gas engines were experiencing the same issue, and the earlier Dodge and Ford's each did have a transmission failure at 150K+ miles, but the newer Dodge and Fords fixed that problem to keep up with the Allison reliability.
Currently my 2015 is the youngster in terms of mileage, only 45K. My old 2004.5 LLY that our son now has is nearing 180K, again no problems.
