Forrest Gump 9 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi guys I've always have gasoline engine power vehicles, I know nothing about diesel power vehicles. With that out of the way, I'm looking to buy a used diesel power suv or truck. What are some of the problems I might encounter in a diesel vehicle? Thank din advance. Why diesel? I need it for the towing capacity and better mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
