Don,
I'd never have either Cummins or especially a Dodge dealer touch my truck for any reason other than warranty.
I do my own oil changes always but if I were going to take my truck to a shop to have it done, I bet $100 isn't far off.
That was my only way to establish the difference in price for an oil change between a gas truck & a diesel.
You change your oil yourself but you have to put a value on your time...you won't change mine for free will you?
I think it would be safe to say an oil change on a Cummins or Powerstroke would cost double what a gas V8 costs...no?
I love my Cummins almost as much as my wife, but they aren't for everybody & I know lots of guys that have them that would save money buying a gasser next time.
That's all I'm saying.
