The Colorado will be available in diesel

Yes, but how often do you have to replace spark plugs and how often do you have to replace glow plugs? "South of cow town" - I'm assuming texas? If you live in Texas, you might never have to replace glowplugs. Ever. That's just one example.

 

"I think your talking about 5-10 year old trucks. Not new ones." Yeaaaaa, now that I think about it....shut up lol. You're right, my experience is with the older IDIs and the newer PSDs, but not the 5 year old and newer diesels.

 

general automotive???

 

South of Calgary . Actually glow plugs even here hold up well. Spark plugs will go a long ways too. Not much maintenance either way there I think.

 

Glow plugs tend to go faster in colder weather but they still last waaaaaay longer than spark plugs (talking older vehicles here).

 

It'll be my next truck.

 

What if I drive 20k a year...which I do unfortunately...

 

I do an easy 18K a year.

Deezul "might" be worth it to me...most likely be a wash in the end. The payload and torque of the Cheby is looking really good to me. More less the capacity of a 1/2 ton without having to buy a fullsize.
