If we all agree that turbo cars are less reliable long term, then how do the new 2017 models stand a chance in lasting 20-40 years or more?
constant rebuilds? jack stands? anyone have a thought? |

Brant - No odometer??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
No I wasn't smoking...I fell into limp mode about 3 months ago just running along minding my own business. It turned out I had one injector that was problematic and would result in small occasional hunting at low speeds and a stumble in the idle about every 15-20 seconds. After looking a new (er) trucks and not wanting to spend $50G's I decided to restore my 07 (new bumpers, new paint, all new injectors, grill, mirrors, seats, etc). $7500 into a 9 year old truck I plan to drive NOW another 5 years. YES. The engine is SMOOTH, no stumble, hunting gone, it worked. Tony |
