> Most people buy diesels just to say they have it. Add up the initial cost, operating costs, fuel cost, etc. The slightly better fuel mileage would take forever to make up for the aforementioned costs and make the diesel a ‘wise investment’.

You certainly do not buy a diesel for fuel economy or economics, however damn sad when aformentioned truck gets better fuel economy than the Jimmy with the 4.3, or the Subaru, or the 2500 suburban…😉

But personally I’d rather have a Duramax under the hood than most gas motors these days with the shit I do here. I don’t have to do shit to it except feed it fuel oil and change the oil when needed. Bulletproof for lack of better words. And it’d come in handy when we find who fucked with ASS and Mikes car, cause we’ll throw a towhook through their window and drag their shit sideways up a hill by the fucking B-pillar without breaking a sweat :number1
