Same thing around here in western KS. Quite a few of the farmers have gone back to gas because of the problems they've had with the diesels and quite frankly the cost. Don't know if that trend will continue, but I do know that in the town I live in there is only one new Duramax on the Chevrolet lot and probably six 6.0's. With Ford it seems like there are six 6.7's for every 6.2.
