    Offer still stands on the manuals if you do buy it. They aren't bad to work on other than a couple of the front pulley's have to be pulled/pressed on if I remember right. PM me an address and I'll get them in the mail this week.

    Oh they would run till they married with the asphalt. But early electronic engines were the best of best. Limited breakdowns and computer watched temps. Let's face it, crappy drivers existed in every generation. I've met them. Sheety steering wheel holders are responsible for the nanny controls.

    I'll get hate for this, but just because a guy is old. Don't make him better. A younger guy with all the technology dont make him better either.

    Also this is not directed to the general population in this room.

    It's amazing current engine models run as well as they do considering what they're asked to do. I've had this DD13 since new, it has 194k and 0 CEL or failures.

    But they are a 600k mile fleet engine at best. 22 years ago they lasted a million with little concern. After 05 we have gone backwards and drivers are worse.

    We are in the days of technology changing faster than times.
