How will the gas save you money in the long run???? Not bashing your choice of engines or anything. I'm just wondering. :rollside:

496/allison is a helluva nice combo. Can't be beat for the dollars spent.

Well for starters, diesel is .50 more a gallon here.

To start its $6000 more.....
Diesel oil change = $60
Gas oild change= $30
Gas per gal (costco) $2.35
Diesel per gallon $2.65
Do the math...You guys need to hang on to your diesels for 7-10 years to make the $$$ up on the 5 mpg more you get. Plus, lets faace it weve seen alot more problems with diesel on the boards, i.e. Fuel injectors, Trannys (fords) etc.. The 496 will tow almost 11,000 lbs which means almost ANY boat, oh i forgot, it wont tow it up the cajon at 90 mph.
Dont be a hater cause you hopped on the bandwagon before the cost of diesel fuel went up....

I'll be watching my mirrors this afternoon for the big 8+ lifted truck with the 5' tall guy that can barely see over the wheel coming up behind me on the pass like I'm a friggin' moving chicane, when I'm going 75!
I remember last year in a snow storm on Cajon having a group blow by me with constantly changing visibility. No concerns about anyone else's safety I guess.....
No offense meant or intended to the size challenged by the way. :smile:
