test driving it this Sunday.

Sounds good over the phone .. we will see.

Can anyone put some insite into how poorly the 2.5 petrol performs / repair cost .etc...?? how comperable is it to the performance of the deisel... besides gas mileage and sound :)

I ran a 2.5 for over 2 years with zero compression in 2 cylinders and poor compression in the other two cylinders. I had it on long trips out in the desert and did some pretty tough trails with it and it never gave up the ghost. It ran like a dog but it just kept going like the Energizer bunny.
Oddly enough when I finally rebuilt the motor the power gain was not that noticeable.

That truck could go anywhere, it just couldn't go anywhere fast.

Nice. Yeah I'm not looking to get anywhere fast :) my 40 sure doesn't. It actually is faster than my 40 which I'm pretty excited about. Max out at top end anyways around 60ish the 40 says it can do 70 but... I mean I want to live :)
