[QUOTE="djchris, post: 243597, member: 1458"] not much differance than a gas engine....just change your oil and fuel filters and spark plugs(j/k) trans service maybe a bit more often considering diesels are more stressed from pulling heavier loads......you can go longer between oil changes but requires much more oil and more expensive oil......but o boy let a injector module go out or a injector alone and you are gonna be out some big money.......if you don't need a diesel than don't get one.....a 2500 with a 6.0 will pull most anything. I am a automotive mechanic but don't do much work on diesels(we have other guys for that) but from what i understand repair costs are almost 3 times as expensive than if it were a gas engine.....o and steer clear of fords.....lol they are good engines but the oil pans rust out and it's like a 20 hour job putting a new one on. being you have to pull the engine.....did one last year...was a pain in the you know what.....
