Re:Help me make a decision

The worst new 3/4 ton diesel pickup will beat the best new gas 3/4 ton pickup in fuel mileage any day of the week. The more loaded down the trucks are the better the diesel will perform relative to the gas truck.

You won't be sorry with an H.O. Cummins and yes it is now available with an auto.

Good luck.

My next door neighbor has a 2002 2500HD 4x4 CC with the 6.0. And it sucks the gas. He's only getting about 11mpg city and 14mpg highway. Wishing now that he should have bought the Duramax/Allison. He can't believe that I'm getting almost 18mpg city and 21mpg highway out of my truck!<br><br>MikeyB
