    Brian, Same mileage on my 14 LL ED. What kind of tuner are you looking at? I am interested in researching tuner mods; just little concerned about coming of totally stock engine without any issues.

    Great post to Shadow Sabre. Pretty much sums up my EcoD usages. I push a little harder towing 7k+ with TH and Harley inside but he describes why I got an ED.

    Engine oil Bypass filter

    Agree. I read the history of development. It's a NATO engine designed to jackrabbit around the East Front of Europe. I report no issues; perhaps as your suggestion Bootsn, my engine is still completely stock. To be sure, I've tested it - 15k+ pulling 7k Toyhauler so maybe staying stock is legit.

    Good job Bob. No offense - I was only commenting on the monitor's observation. Wish you luck and that you had a truck like mine. No issues to really mention yet I am pondering whether or not to purchase extended warranty though.
