Well it has been awhile and for any of you wondering I did go diesel but I couldn't pull the pin on dodge I had to go GMC. I was just readign too may things about the new 6.7L and it scared me off it. Saying that and having hte new truck for 4 months I would never go back to a gasser either. These new diesels warm up much quicker and I have not had any problems warming up so far this winter but we have only seen -13/-15C a the coldest. General warm up time is 10-15 minutes before everythign is good to go.

thanks for all your input
Phil

HI, i'm new here aswell and in the same boat as PhilD. Here's my options: 06 megacab 4x4 hemi with 17000km. This truck is pretty much brand new, even the smell. or 07 megacab 4x4 6.7l diesel with 68000km. Punch line... about three g's cheaper than the hemi. Don't know what shape but from the pic look's nice. Don't have anything to haul...yet, but travel about a 20 minute highway commute to and from work.

I know the diesel is a work truck but I figure fueling up maybe once a month instead of twice would be nice. And who wouldn't want more bang for there buck.

p.s. I would beat on it once in awhile, heavy foot thing you know.

Thank's.
RAMNSPD.
