The "Dodge" diesel is actually a Cummins heavy truck engine. With proper maintenance, it should last about 250,000 miles. The injectors will need replacing every 100,000 miles.
I would say 500,000 is average for the engine. I do not agree about the injectors. The truck will wear out before the engine does.
Yes, diesel engines traditionally get better fuel mileage than a gasoline engine.
Diesel engines normally get better fuel economy than gasoline engines.
500,000 miles to 750,000 miles
Are diesel engines better than gas engines is sort of a yes and no question. Diesel engines generally get better fuel mileage and last longer overall. But, gas engines are easier to maintain on your own and gasoline is much more readily available than diesel fuel is on the whole.
Some cars have diesel engines because diesel engines give more mileage and diesel is cheaper than gasoline in some countries. In the UK diesel fuel costs more than gas but, because diesel engines give much better mileage (miles per gallon), people are still happy to pay more for the diesel fuel if they run diesel vehicles. Diesel engines last much longer and have much better torque at low revs than a petrol engine.
Unleaded fuel is used in gasoline engines, while diesel fuel is used in diesel engines. The main difference is in their ignition process: gasoline engines use spark plugs to ignite the fuel, while diesel engines rely on compression to ignite the fuel. This difference affects performance and efficiency, as diesel engines typically have higher torque and better fuel efficiency compared to gasoline engines. Diesel fuel also has a higher energy density, which can result in better mileage for diesel vehicles. However, diesel engines tend to produce more emissions than gasoline engines.
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline because chambers are different. A diesel engine has better gas mileage.
If you thought a hybrid car was a good deal, think again. A hybrid diesel will get you better mileage than a traditional gasoline engine. Diesel engines and diesel gasoline gets better fuel economy and diesel engines last longer too. What can be better than that? Choosing a hybrid diesel vehicle will get you the ultimate fuel economy while saving you the most money.
There are long haul diesel engines on the road that have 1, 2, & even 3 million miles on them. Gasoline engines have been know to go 1 million miles.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Atlantis Diesel Engines was created in 1979.
Diesel engines are more efficient. They get better mileage, produce more torque, and last much longer than a gasoline engine. They are also more expensive to build.
