you can say that again........
two big  advantages of gasoline over turbo diesel,
and also specifically with the Ford engine ......
the engine is under a lot less stress, compared to a diesel and is more

and if one does go south on ya........you're looking at hundreds, not
thousands, for a good used engine.
