However, its like they didn't exist. I'm glad I got one. The amount of money I am saving in fuel costs over the v-8 models is going to buy its replacement in about 12 years....though I may just keep this one going with an engine rebuild. Body is under warranty by Ziebart... so all I need to worry about is mechanical.

Have you thought of insulation wrapping the exhaust for better longevity? I've heard that diesel exhaust parts like more heat as they have a harder time staying up to proper temperatures.
I miss my 1985 VW diesel. That car is immortal. I'd love to have a diesel again.
