My situation

Thanks again for all the comments here. Very much appreciated, it made me step back and think logically.

 

Seriously.

Diesels are not what they used to be thanks to Uncle Sam. Most of the issues are related to the SCR systems. EGR valves, DPF/DOC failures, DEF quality & DEF sensors, DEF crystallizing, increased price of diesel fuel, etc.

Unless you're pulling heavy loads whereby a diesel is required long gone are the days I would just recommend driving around in one.

Not to say you can't have issues but you are much more likely to.

There is a big trend going around where municipalities are going back to gas powered fleet vehicles from diesels of all makes if possible. There is a reason why.
