You haven't lived until you have had to "waste" $60 to smog a diesel........and the smog check is this........VISUAL for modifications, LOOK for a check engine light and rev truck to 1500 rpm then floor it to LOOK for black smoke.

Youd think building dozens of D-max's a year I could agree but I digress. Yes we have an aluminum hardness tester. We also innovated LB7 "screw in" injector cups. Its all filtration LLY 2004
Have fun with with the cracked heads & lovely injectors . I also do all the magging. 1 set I've seen "not" cracked 7.3 anyway. Did I sat we dont build ford. Dmax & Cummins only
I know I sound like an asshole but your 5.3 was a better plan. Really though your fun

Id like to hear more. Your not going to offend me. Im all for open conversatoin. so here is my personal experiances..
the only thing with the 5.3... is that suits me NOW. but in the next year Plus. I fear Ill outgrow it. and start WORKIGN it.
There have been 3 Dmax's in my family. 1 had a new motor, 1 had heads crack, and all 3 had injection issues. (more than once each).
one with the cracked head, never towed anything.
the other 2 tow VERY small camp trailers.
the few 7.3's Ive known. one broke the exh manifold bolts. but it deserved it. (foot on the floor driver, up the hills, runnin CRAZY EGT'S. I think the sustained egt's are what did it)... and every single one of them PUKED auto trannys all over the ground. many times
cummins. only seen one problem in the 4 I have had personal experiance with. and that was a cracked block. (he had one of the recalled blocks). dodge put in a new motor under warrenty.
