Before buying a wannabe diesel , test drive a new Dodge with a real diesel and even talk with people who have owned both Dodge Cummins and Ford with a moneypit powerstroke diesel . I own a 91 Dodge and it has only 136k miles it still gets 23MPG . Met a farm machinery mechanic the other day and his has over 1 million 200K and he hasn't been into the engine yet . I have a hard time finding a Powerstroke owner that hasn't spent a fortune after the warranty ran out .
Check out the new Dodge Diesel before you leap (550 ft. lbs. and 315 HP)
