Hello, I don't know jack.....
.... about diesels, really, except from what I've learned from this site.
I'm thinking of buying a Diesel truck for a few reasons:
-Towing
-Better MPG on a tow vehicle
-Longevity of the engine (something that will last long past 100,000 miles)
So, now I've heard about this ULSD that is coming this year. I've done a search here and found lots of warnings about what it will do to the cost of diesel and these trucks.... but it doesn't really mean much since I don't have a point of reference (since I don't have a diesel)
-Will the increased costs nullify the MPG benefits? (including cost of additives)
-Will less lubrication reduce the longevity difference bwt Diesel and gas engines?
-Will the engine be less powerful and nullify the towing benefit?
please help me, as I'm ignorant
