But I can put a really nice set injectors in my truck for $600 for 6, your 16 will cost more than that for 1.
you can have your computerized, DEF, high priced diesel truck.
I will take my old work horse that I have $6,600 in the entire truck that will run 13.4 sec 1/4, and tow 20k lbs of tractors all day long.
those new things do ride a little smoother.
I used to be you, then I traded in my heavily modded 99 F250 7.3 on a 14 f350, even thought the 99 had more torque than my 14 the 4 out tows it all day long, is quiet, handles better........the only thing better with the 99 was the empty performance racing around town......
the 99 had 435ho and 900 ftlbs, the 14 has 400/800 and tows way better.
