[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 759996, member: 5925"] Not wanting to deal with DEF, $3000+ repairs every time something happens, 15k$ asking price for a ragged out POS that's 20 years old and 350k+ miles etc. For me, I tow about 5000 miles per year. Even at 8mpg, and driving at 65mpg average I feel like I'm saving money. Money that I would rather spend somewhere else or keep. If you can afford a diesel, do it, they are great. I have seen first hand someone buy a used 7.3 and have to replace everything under the hood to make it run half way decently and that person never really trusted the vehicle. I can put a brand new long block in my truck for 2k and drive it for years to come. Hard to do that in a diesel. If you think a common rail or injectors are bad on the wallet, look for a fuel system replacement on a 6.7 if the CP4 pump shits the bed. 18k$ is what I was told for the whole thing :oops: [/QUOTE]
