I don't know if you are being sarcastic about me having a talent with vehicles or not but its just a common setup that I coppied from a few other truck on an F-150 forum.
As far as the grammar thing, I'm not trying to impress anybody, I type just like I talk. As long as you can understand what I'm saying, that should be good enough.

Give them both 65k and see which one has had more problems. My bet from driving an EB currently, is the Ecoboost.

Yeah, he is phenomenal with fabbing ****, and has all of the equipment on hand, so he figured why not? His only regret is not making it a long bed.

Not being sarcastic at all. Though when I posted that, I was under the impression that you were "magic".

Have yet to race a civic, although their is a pretty quick all motor one that beats a lot of 350/370z', f bodys & mustangs. Just hard to catch him in between broken half shafts & transmissions.

the 04-07 d-max's have no typical early failure injector issues. you're thinking of the lbz's. 04+ got totally different injectors.

the 04's are covered under the same injector warranty as the 01-03's and I've personally see a bunch of Duramax guys local in the newer trucks still having issues.....Nothing like the olders one I will say that

I work on diesel generators for a living.....and I can tell you one thing....Both these companies that produce Diesels for these companies will never be found in a generator that actually has to last !!

MTU, Cummins, Detroit (Old school compound boost!!) FTW!!!

that's because the early 04's came with the shitty injectors. and not only were they shitty, they were hard to change. brown.
