I still have 6 of the old style injectors. I check my oil every couple of days as if I had an old wore out vehicle. I've had fuel in the oil twice now and once the engine hydro-locked at 7000 miles leaving me stranded on the hiway. As long as these old injectors remain in this truck, this truck will be unreliable and unsafe.

Tim what are you going to do with this info? We could have a national convention ! Might be small ; no one could make it due to mechanical failures.
Ok, Ive heard that a large Atlanta dealer has helped with 15 buy backs, is this unusual or the norm?
I've been beating the drum for a engine maybe I should just let them trade me for a new one? This truck is awesome
when it runs and its real heavy and no fun when she breaks
Also I'm not always griping my wifes 2001 King Ranch 150 4x4 has only been to the dealer to pick me up when we take the X in.
