Did the injectors in my dads 04 cummins. Spent the money on good injectors, not cheap chinese remans. Parts alone was close to $3K. We had it done in about 6 hours.

Myself I'd get some 100hp or so injectors. You'll get more hp/trq and better mpg's at the same time. I never worked on a diesel engine in my life before I got my truck... did a little research and changed the injectors in mine in a few hours.

Just one of the advantages of diesels. Hop them up easy and get better fuel mileage. Try doing that with a gas pig.

Yeah, yeah, what ever you say, spend all that money, energy and time doing that to the V10 to get a little more power. It still won't get any better mileage and you'll be running premium fuel on top of that which is the same price as diesel. Sounds like a case of diesel envy to me. BTW, tell me do they still make a truck V10? I can't remember. Things were so great they only made them for 10 years, just long enough to recoup the R&D on them.

Nope, had a couple diesels and don't miss them at all.
I have built magnum motors, a lot of them, and I can assure you from personal expience they respond VERY favorably to a few minor changes both with more power and more MPG. One time I took a 318 magnum, ran real tight quench and picked up 3+ mpg and had less pinging with no other changes at all. I have also seen substancial improvement in MPG and TQ with regrinding the cam to reduce overlap and increase lift a little. Injector swaps help a lot also. Again this is my personal experience with my money no one is paying my to sell a V10.
The reason no one bought the V10 is they failed to do the math when the times changed and diesel went way higher than gas. Even a stock V10 pulls better than a stock 12V hands down.

I have 486225 miles on my '06 CTD Dually. Never had the valve cover off. I fuel up at the end of a run which is daily. I buy fuel at my Speedway station and change the fuel filter every 20,000 miles. Maybe I better knock on wood.
You are way over due for a valve adjustment check.... You may not need any adjustments but a overhead check is a real good idea....

I know exactly what both can do and the 12 valve will still return at least twice the fuel mileage. With mild upgrades like a fuel pin, exhaust and timing bump the 12 valve walks all over the V10, will out live the V10 and will still get twice the mileage.
I'm still not sure who you are trying to convince here since the OP said nothing about V10's to start with.
So let's do a little real world math. I drive a minimum of 480 miles/week. With my 12 valve getting 23 MPG that's 21 gallons a week at $2.90/gallon equals $60.52.
My V10 at 10 mpg is 48 gallons of gas at $2.40/gallon equals $115.20.
In 1 year that is a difference of $2843.36, in 2 years $5686.72, in 3 years it's $8530.08. The diesel engine option has already paid for itself and will continue to pay for itself with at least twice the longevity of the V10. Oil changes are a wash because you can go twice as long on a diesel between changes. Fuel filters are a non issue because spark plugs, coils and wires aren't free either.
So let's just agree to disagree. You keep your V10 and I'll keep my diesel.

At 200k, the v10 is probably done, and cummins may need injectors...
Think this is more of a pay me now or pay me later scenario... cost to own and drive is about the same, now buying a gas is much less, but you also get about that same spread less when you sell a gas rig compared to a cummins....
