I like the deisel for longevity and reliability.I towed with my IDIs for 5 years almost never drove it without a 30 ft trailer behind it.It would run for a couple weeks at a time -only shutting down to check oil (even slept in it for weeks at a time -ran it for heat in the winter & Ac in the summer.I would hate to ask a gasser to do that.B4 that I used an IDI to tow my tractor and plowed snow 6 years of great service,loved that torque and extra weight on the front drive axle.total 11 years working with a deisel.Prior to that I plowed with gasser chebys-never again.
