I've had a diesel and have worked at more then a few places with diesel work trucks. The thing with a diesel is its only really worth while if you are working it daily. Simply put they are expensive to run. Just cause the engine keeps going its all the little things that make it go that will make you want to swallow a gun. The cummins is a good mill but imagine having to do what you have done to your toy to a cummins and tally up how much it would cost. This would be your reaction = <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

There are more then a few 22re engines with 300k and nothing too.
