And if I was getting 6.5 MPG , I'd be a happy camper.  As to replacing the truck , why trade a known issue , that you are on the way to solving , with an entirely new set of unknown problems ?  In my situation , it is not economically possible, nor really , wanted. I have about 5 payments to go , and then , if it needs a rebuild , or other major work , well , we'll see.  There's a local shop here , that runs their own trucks , and they are old school. Everything they have is turning 700-800 HP. They are Heavy Haul , and those boys know how to make a truck run.  They will work on outside trucks , so I'll have mine towed to their shop , if need be. As to injectors , yeah , they're expensive , but if it solves your problem , it's worth it. As to the miles , well , all you can do , is maintain it , and plan for an overhaul. If you start planning for known issues , which you should anyway , you won't be surprised when they happen.  Have a reserve fund , for the unknown problems that crop up , and you'll do OK.[/QUOTE]
