It does cost a bit to buy parts for the diesels, but generally don't have to buy them as often... the expensive part these days is the fuel, but I use mine for pulling trailers and hauling loads, it rarely gets run if it isn't doing some kind of work. Not sure why the difference, but the thing is practically unstoppable in the snow...
I don't walk to work either, as 35 miles is a bit of a jaunt to walk...

well the box was a model older than what he needs pat. you guys are right never had a 390 that got better than 10. im a fan of fuel injection. diesel is to expensive to repair for me as not really needed and i think they last longer if worked. dont care for the electronic injected diesel there nice for diagnostic but seem to have to many breakdowns that take time to get parts
