Theres a few issues with the newer trucks that we don't have with the older trucks. Price out the cost of new injectors? I've heard lots of trucks that have lost engine due to cylinders damage and valve seats dropping out. I know of one 05 truck on my street thats been baby way more than mine and its on its second engine. The #5, #6 cylinders where damaged. New engine from dodge, six months later it had injector issues. To me that stuff makes the second gen VP issues look minor. I've beat on my truck and I'm supprised that its in as good as shape as it is. The engine cylinders are still in good shape and I just put on a new head. Its as good as new and ready for another 5-6 years of abuse from my right foot.
The 12v engine are as almost bullet proof as you can get in a diesel engine. A million plus mile engine, you'll get bored of it before you'll break. The rest of the truck, you'll have to replace a few times...

There's no going back. The damage is done.
Sorry, that's how the game is played. You want BOMBs, you stay BOMBed and eat the cost. YOu want to sell it, you have to find someone who wants the bombs.

Okay, I'll bite on this one.
People have their hobbies, that's what it was for my 98 12V. We had a field day with it too!Blackcloud, you already know it! I do have to say when do you say enough is enough with buying and selling or tuning them I don't.
