...the diesels usually require a change to 4.89 gears and/or larger tires due to their incapability of running at higher rpms. With 900x16 tires and 5.83 gears you need 3200 rpm for 55 mph. Or an overdrive transmission. I'm not knocking diesels, but it is a budgetary consideration for some as gear sets aren't cheap to buy and install.
