Absolutely keep it! The '03 in my sig was a gift from my wife (and GOD) and it was just under $17k out the door. I've driven diesels for over 40 years but this is the first I've owned. Wouldn't trade it for anything. I gave up my favorite truck for this beast, an '88 GMC Suburban. Loved the size of the Sub, ease of maintenance and handling. Fuel mileage at 65 was great as well. Just got tired after 16 years. It'll make someone a great hotrod/classic project and I'd still take it cross country today. But as I said, I'm tired and wanted a RAM.

I'm betting you'll regret it if you sell it. Besides, if fuel gets too expensive, just melt some goose grease and drop it in your tank....

Keep the Faith, Keep the diesel. diesel prices will always go up and down just like everything else. play with the economy of the vehicle see if the GPM can be improved on. The little women isn't cheap either but I wouldnt trade her for a compact.

I did see $5.00 dollar fuel the summer of 2008. We went on a family vacation to Disney in Orlando with my wife and I, my Dad and step-mom, and my brother, his wife and their trophies. The wife and I took my truck as it was a toss-up between taking it and getting 22mpg on the highway @ $5 a gallon or Wifey's 04 Dakota getting mid teens and paying $4.00 a gallon for gas. Nearly every fuel station on that trip had fuel ranging from $4.80 to $5.05 a gallon!

Luckily with my fuel tank mod letting my stock tank hold just a tick under 40 gallons, there weren't too many fill-ups, but when I did have to bite the bullet, I had to part with $200.00!

Yeah. I remember that. You didn't really have much say when you lost your '99 though . You all healed up from that yet?
