RE: Diesel vs. Gas.... what's your opinon?
As a rule, gas engines are cheaper, just because gas always costs less (though it shouldn't).
I like Diesels better though, even though i cant afford one right now. Cummins and Duramax are the clear front runners, with Powerstrokes being hit or miss.
Its amazing what you can do to a diesel with just a chip, exhaust and maybe a few hundred dolalrs of extra mods. Were talking 11-12 second quarters here...and thats insane for a big truck.
