I have been looking at replacing my 99 powerstroke diesel 4x4 F-250 Ford truck for awhile now and will probably clean it up in the Spring and go ahead and sell it. My quandry now is whether to get another diesel truck, or the same truck with a 6.8L V-10 gas motor (very similar torque ratings from a 99 diesel to a 2005-2006 Ford V-10), so pulling the horse trailer and the 30' camper is a non-issue. I think I could actually come out ahead of the game using a less efficient gas motor with the much lower ($1.20 a gallon lower) fuel cost. I don't daily drive the truck anyway, and I have been irritated with the way the diesel starts and runs in cold weather. Sounds like it might be time to go gas.
