I have friends with these almighty "power stroke" trucks paying through the nose for service... 3 GALLONS of oil? I could do my 440 twice with 3 gallons of oil. Expensive fuel filters... no thanks. The 440 pulls my 6000 lb. W200 effortlessly... I am an advocate that simple is better. Give me an old truck anyday over the new microprocessor controlled glitz machine. Fuel mileage is better with a diesel... but how much are you paying a month? I can put a lot of gas in the W200 for what a new truck payment costs... - Mike in NM
