Gas or diesel?

[wrenchman]

many of todays diesil moters are true diesil moters that were origenily intended for heavyer duty work and and many more miles then most will put on a personel truck.
dodge is youseing the cat wich should run for about 250 thousend miles before you have any problims.
ford youses the power stroke it is yoused by international in there streight trucks.
most of these heavyer trucks get about 9 miles per gallon of fuel
when i run trip reports wich is a print out directly frome the e.c.u .
and many idel a lot.
The most you will have to do with a diesel is change the oil lots of the newer diesel vehicels are comeing with extended life coolent
and it will last a long time you should also be doing less oil changes becouse you shouldnt need to change your oil for 9 tousend miles just make sure you keep everthing else greased.
we run our streight rucks that have cats the same model that is in the dodge rams 4 months or 20 thousend miles we dont hit milage to often unless it is a slip seat.
so if you will be youseing it hard and doing lots of miles it will be real good
you will need to change fuel filters about the same as any other.
