Here is my thoughts on your idea, I would wait to see what the price of diesel does with this middle east thing, back before and during the gulf war 1 I owned a diesel blazer diesel fuel was always cheaper than gas before the war, during and after the war diesel was more than gas their was time during the war where diesel went so high it was more cost effective to drive my gas blazer than the diesel so I parked it and drove the gas, you also have to factor in maintenance and repair cost on the diesel will be at least 2x more than your current gas truck, not sure if insurance cost will go up that much, once you crunch the numbers you might find out 6mpg in current truck is a deal.

Their is nothing cheap about owning a diesel truck or car so many hidden cost and extra maintenance cost, my diesel experience GREAT I bought mine for 2500.00 when it was still worth 6400.00 this was back when a diesel truck or blazer was a joke and they could not give them away, I put over 100k miles on it and probably no more than 500 bux into maintenance and repairs I got real lucky, I have many friends with diesels they bought them when the economy was good and they were the craze and the majority are money pits I doubt I will see many buy a second one time will tell.

If I had a toy hauler like yours and was going to put more than 8k tow miles on it a year I would be buying a used diesel truck but I would not be putting more than 2-3k non towing miles on it a year to keep the value up and to extend its life.

Come on LOTTO I want one of them new Chevy 1 ton 4x4 crew cab dualys with the 760 ft lbs torque

Howd we get from this awesome picture of a race car and stories from some of the biggest names in stadium lites to comparing station wagons?

What exactly is a "Bluetec?" I have seen the emblem on the trucks, but don't really know what it means.

welcome to the board Peter,

I would be very interested in racing in one of your stadium lights, would you be interested in renting one? on top of rent I would pay all fuel, tires, maintenance, and for any parts and labor if I crash or break something, I have rode or raced Pilots with allot of members on this board and hope they would vouch for me........... if its something you would be interested in I can PM you my number or Rick (slickrick) could just pass it on to you, hope not to offend you or be to forward and I hope we can work something out.

Jacob
