In the last 6-7 years, I've sold off my diesel(s) and am now running gas trucks as my work trucks.
The diesels here in California are more trouble & expense that they are worth, IMO. Granted, we're not pulling heavy trailers or I might think differently. We pull dump trailers, landscape equipment trailers and small tractor trailers. My gas 5.4 Triton F250's are fine.

Diesel is more expensive than gas, Diesels use twice the engine oil, Now, they are encumbered with SMOG and when they need a mechanic, they are 3 x as expensive. Plus they have to be smogged in California.

I don't dislike Diesels, my favorite truck of all time was my 96 F250 Powerstroke, loved that truck.
