Just curious why people always talk about costs of repairs for a diesel being higher than a gas. Yes I understand that a repair could cost more, but the life expectancy is greater and the chances of paying for a repair are less likely and less frequent. Additionally, the powertrain warranty on the diesels for GM and Ram are 5 years/100k miles. So the average person doesn't have to worry about paying for a single repair for the first 5 years. At that point, many diesel owners are still very confident in their trucks reliability, where gas owners still get scared when they bust the 100k mile glass ceiling. Additionally, many used truck buyers shy away from a 100k mile gasser, but don't bat an eye at a 100k mile coal burner so they retain better resale value.
