Ha!

Yeah, everything has it's pro's and con's. I have always felt the GMT800 platform is the best blend between comfortable and "updated" interior, with minimal (relatively) electronic dependence making ease of service that much more accessible.

While a 7.3 might be dead reliable, the interiors leave a lot to be desired I think and they're slow and will rattle my teeth out. Same with a 12v, and I think most 3rd gen Cummins are butt ugly.

Had this been a new truck that had issues, a warranty wouldn't have done anything for me on a Saturday night/Sunday in the middle of no where.

With all that being said, a 15-19 LML/L5P is looking more and more enticing... I'm just super turned off by the emissions, regardless of keeping them or not.

Also, just a small update on the lines themselves, I'm told Lincoln Diesel is going to pull a couple sets of their aftermarket lines off the shelf and bench test them for quality and will let me know if they run into issues.

I see the needle bouncing off the seat a hell of a lot with no lube. It might kill it.

Could try unthreading the solenoid but now he’s ripping the top end apart. Hmmm

I know I’m late to the thread, but there’s no reason to waste a good tech opportunity. I’m by no means an expert, but I think it takes fuel pressure above a certain amount at the inlet to make the pintle rise.

i just had some of their lines i sent back. I must of accidently added them in the cart and didnt realize it until they shipped. My stock ones aren't in bad shape so hated to keep something for 350 i didnt need and i have another set in the shop from another truck. Definitely keep us updated.
