Duckswit.....WTF you talking about with maintenance??? A gasser you change the oil every 5K and forget about it for 200K. Hell, listen to waterpup and his problems at 100K with the Dodge. I haven't had any issues with my 6.0 powerstroke yet, but it's no daily driver either. You talk about crunching numbers, but your calculator dont work or you like to stretch the truth.
I ran all the numbers before I bought mine a couple years ago, and the diesel is inefficent to run UNLESS there is somthing strapped to the back.
I guess my 3/4 ton is getting crappy mileage at 16 to 17. I mean thats a hell of alot better than my 96 Chevy's 16 mpg. And since everyone on here pulls a boat with them to work, we should all buy diesels to save money, right?
I drive my trucks for around 4 to 5 years apiece, so I don't give a ratts ass about long life. Like I said, I can't make the numbers work for the diesels. But what do I know....I do know that the diesels I operate cost about $9,027 per operating hour per year, not including the $125,000 overhaul every 3.52 years.
BTW.....take your oil analysis and shove it up your arse.. you'll already KNOW you have problems before they get back to ya.
OH, and did you figure in the add on exhaust, chips, and air induction stuff in on your "number crunching"????
