Bill... won't lie - I blurted out "WOW!" when I saw the pics but after your explanation, it seems like a logical way to handle a big repair without risking rig body damage, tech injury or other inefficiencies/wastes.

Congratulations!

The Duramax I6 is a very impressive engine.

At idle, it's almost as quiet as a gas engine and the low-end torque gives it excellent performance in day-to-day driving.

I'd be hard pressing not to go with the Duramax if I was towing.

You’ll love it. Used ones are doing over list at the sale. We’re one of the only dealers not marking them up. We can’t get enough new ones and refuse to gouge our customers/owners by selling them for over what we feel is a fair price. Our’s is a family owned dealership and we really try to do what’s right. That new engine is one helluva unit. So far, zero complaints and virtually no warranty issues on the ones we’ve sold. By the way, we have orders in our order bank that are over six months old…you did well.

a lot of problems with the cam phasers on the late model F150s, have to tear the whole front end of the engine apart, major surgery. Ford pulls the cabs off to ease getting to the engine
