[QUOTE="t1h5ta3, post: 826782, member: 16823"] i got bored and skiped the last 4 pages so forgive me. me i bought my 03 ram 3500 not to be cool (but it helped) or because i currently tow heavy (or at all), but down the road i plan to. i looked realisticly and told my wife that id rather spend a few bucks more now and get a truck i wouldnt grow out of than have to keep ether buying a new truck every couple years , or make due with an under sized, under equiped truck. the truck i picked up was high milage, but had good records. for just over $20k i picked up a 300+hp truck that weighs over 4 tons an manages to throw down 20+ mpg empty in i5 gridlock. thats over 750 miles to a tank. now take a look at any gasser truck, find me one that'll pull those #'s as a daily driver... then look at 1 tons w/ gass motors... even worse, now make it a 4x4.... oops lost a few more mpg.... see where im going with this. now for a totaly diferent perspective. a diesel truck buring dead dinos produces in a year less harmfull emisions than a small imprt car does in a week of comuting. now throw veggie fuel in it.. there goe's 90% of what little emisions it was puting out.. got to look out for my boy's future to ya know. so yha. decision for me was an easy one..... diesel, that and it doesnt hurt that for the same cost of a gas tuner that adds all of 15hp you can have one for a diesel that adds almost 200hp, 400+ ft/lbs, oh and did i mention gets it better fuel economy?
