So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Trucks on Diesel and Gas

By Ram Collins


If you want a more convenient truck that is similar to a car, it's the truck that uses gas that's best for you. That's because it can accelerate quietly plus you can start the engine without any hassles during a cold weather as well.

On the other hand, drivers who want trucks that can effectively tow and run for long distances should opt for diesel trucks. These trucks can save more money on fuel although buying them may require bigger investments.

Mentioned below are some of those vehicle manufacturers that stayed on top until today:

Dodge - It's the 2500 and the 3500 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks that stood out among all the Dodge models. Nevertheless, the Ram was not powerful enough 245 HP 9.5 L in 2002. But Dodge promised to produce engines with more power and fortunately, they fulfilled that promise.

The most powerful engine they're talking about is the 5.7L gasoline V-8. Not only is it considered very powerful but it also revived the legendary name called Hemi.

Ford - Before, the diesel trucks were no match for those trucks using gasoline. But it was in 1994 when Ford pushed their trucks upward and get to the top using their diesel engines.

From 1994 to 2002, over 70% of super duty Fords were sold with the optional 7.3L V-8 diesel engine. This engine helped to put Ford among the leaders in diesel trucks, as they had more than they needed to dominate the market.

Chevrolet/GMC - Both the Sierra HD and Silverado HD possess the GM's 6.0L gas engine V-8 where towing is not a problem. Nevertheless, it was upgraded using the 8.1L gas V-8 which became one of the most respected truck engines.

Over the years, diesel trucks have proven to be efficient with mileage, great for towing, and easy on maintenance. Unlike gas engines, diesel engines do not have spark plugs, which means you won't need to get them tuned up near as much as gasoline engines.

For those who like to haul heavy loads on a frequent basis, diesel is the way to go. You can get quite a few miles per gallon, and diesel trucks are built to go 250,000 miles or more before the engine needs to be rebuilt, making them a purchase that is more than worth your money.
