Powertrain warranty is only 5 years or 60,000 miles. Majority of the time, by the time warranty expires is when expensive problems start to happen. So would you rather cough up several thousand to fix a one or two things on a PowerStroke or several thousand to just about rebuild the gas engine?.

I don’t think he’s saying that, but the likelihood of something going wrong with the Gasser in the 40k after 60k to match the 100k warranty with the Diesel is a lot less likely than something going wrong with the diesel between 60k and 100k under warranty. And I’ve owned three 7.3L’s, four 6.0L’s, two 6.4L’s, and two 6.7L’s. Not one gave me an ounce of trouble to and past 100k.

Why do the diesel lovers have to Allways come to a gas thread and Try to convince everybody to either stay with or switch to diesel. I’ve yet to see a gas motor guy going to diesel thread , we just don’t bother because we’re confident in our decisions we don’t need to convince anybody. I am fully convinced diesel people are very insecure and need to have reinforcement for their very expensive purchase. There’s no other way to explain it.

I started to think, “What the $&@#% are they taking about? I merely said a diesel is more likely to have an expensive issue between 60k and 100k under warranty rather than the gasser at the same interval while out of warranty”. Then I scrolled back to see I missed the Diesel chest pounding. Just like the guys crapping on the first release of the EcoBoost with “There is no replacement for displacement “ bullshoot. Im a diesel guy, and I’m looking forward to this 7.3L more than any truck news in years. Maybe some Peterbuilt 579 guys or similar should advise the 6.7 owners how underpowered their trucks are. 😜

A lot of people like myself take exception to the fact that gassers default to the notion that only idiots spend the extra $9000 and the 6.2 is fine for ‘most’ applications, and that the diesel is corroding technology plagued with issues when in fact it’s completely the opposite.
But it I think the biggest reason there seems to be jabs back and forth is that this website combines both diesel and gassers into the same year appropriate forum instead of relegating gassers to a gas only forum like the other sites do(did).

I’m willing to give you a chance to explain how it is completely the opposite. I’ve had such miserable experiences with modern Diesel engines that I’m willing to hear a rational counter point, but my anecdotal first hand dealings strongly lean to ‘never again’ when it comes to oil burners.

I don't think this at all. There is certainly justification for purchasing the diesel.
