I have to Back up my Buddy Ozzie, The years of noise Diesels are long past. Inside the cab you hear nothing. Outside you hear it a very little, slightly more than a gasser. The fume's are not anything like the older diesels. All the tree huggers have taken care of that.... The newer Diesels are the choice of probably 80 precent. I have the habit of letting my diesel run a few minutes before I pull out to warm things up, and after a long haul I let it idle 5 to 10 minutes while I am setting up and that is to let the turbo cool down a bit before I shut it down. I have not had one person complain while that is going on. I would think someone would say something if it were 5 AM or 11PM but that would be for a gasser also. I can only say, have her take a ride to the dealer's and have a few test drives... It's not like driving into a truck stop with 50 rigs idleing. safe travels John OH BRANSON IS GREAT IN 2008 see you there with your new DIESEL......
