Rocky,
Welcome!
My son desires a 250/ or poss a 350 (he's an electrician, mainly lt ind. and nursing home new constr). What's the diff in maintenance on your 350, esp the engine as compared to a gas engine and lighter suspension model?
Be well,

Maintenance differance's arn't too much, keep a good oil in the engine, change it every 5000 miles. Add a fuel additive to keep the injectors clean. The diesel gets better miles per gallon than the gaser, the down fall is initial cost of the diesel.
Hope this helps
