I'd never trade it in. It's got a lot of sentimental value(was my dads truck before he died). I would though get another vehicle and put the truck in the garage so I can work on it.

I wouldn't trade my gasser away, but I would definitely buy its fraternal twin sporting a CTD. I just might in a year or two, just for grins.

Definitely. But since I don't see that happening any time soon, I'll just keep adding to the cummins piggy bank I've got going.

i would do it in a heart beat! i love the sounds a diesel makes, and i love that good ole black smoke that rolls on out when you take off! but the gasser will have to stay for now cause unemployment struck me dead in the water.

I would trade my truck for a similarly equiped truck, with der diesel.... However, it would NOT be worth an additional five grand to me........

i would keep my truck, i always wanted a diesil before but after all the work to the truck nah..

i think after the 4.10 and the top end ill be more than happy with the power .plus the 318/360 are bulletproof

5k & my V10, nope, not worth it to me.
V10 is faster (stk 4 stk) higher payload (mine 5k), same tow capability, less maintenance, I dont drive the miles require to justify the diesel. (only 42k on her)
CTD gets better mileage(diesel costs more here) & may do slightly better towing, has much longer lifespan.

Indy, NOT A CHANCE, 20k in new parts the last 4yrs alone, not including the Procharger, custom interior, f/g matching tonneau, 250pieces Ive powdercoated or polished, smoothed/painted frame, skinnies/slicks/draglites, etc etc etc
