Diesel truck final longer i've got faith with no super variety of mant. I even have had 4 Diesel trucks all that have properly surpased the three hundred,000 mile mark devoid of loads of hassle. I even have had to swap trannys yet thats no longer too undesirable with that many miles on them. a three/4 ton diesel with no trailer gets me sixteen-18 mpg and a three/4 ton gas truck with no trailer have been given me 10-12 mpg. particular Diesel is greater costly however the mpg would be so plenty greater powerful and it avrages it out. i flow with a diesel any day till you rigidity short distances daily or often. I rigidity a hundred plus miles an afternoon.

Any diesel engine will travel farther on a gallon of fuel than a gas engine.
