Im thinking I may come watch. No class for me this time but the show will be worth seeing.

The Gm duramax is an OK engine, just not to effecient. They usually need a programmer and some other upgrades. Im a cummins fan but the new cummins isnt worth much IMO. It has decent power but crappy mileage. However, unlike new FORD and Chevys, it doesnt require DPF fluid. But im sure its coming. Each make has its own issues, my advice, decide what you like and go from there. Sounds like there are a lot of guys with experience on here to help you steer clear of the problem children.

Diesel definately. However dont expect the end of year to show a significant gain. Gas engines are cheaper and maintenance is also cheaper along with fuel prices. But they require more maint more often. Diesels are expensive to buy but get better mileage, towing or not. Fuel prices are higher. Maintenance is costly but not as frequent. Some people think its a wash. Ive got a now 11 year old Dodge with a Cummins and even though its old and ugly, it gets 18+ mpg daily driving and 11-12 towing a 38' fifth wheel thats over 12 feet tall. I cant complain.
