new dodge 1/2 ton diesel

They don't just cost more upfront, they cost more to maintain as well. Fuel prices, what about cold weather states? Have to run blended fuel and Stanadyne here for 4-6months. 60/40 wont cut it alone. Does the new diesel require DPF as well?

And just when you are loving diesel ownership, it breaks down and you get the repair bill! $2500 for injector pump... $300 for an injector... ughh. I was glad to sell mine. It would pull anything, haul a mountain up a mountain, and get 20 if I kept it under 2200rpm. I just couldn't justify the added expenses for how rarely I needed that power.
