Not really, that's exhaust manifolds, and injector pumps if you get the wrong year. If you really get the wrong one, blocks crack. The duramaxes have the worst reputation for injectors. On Tue, Apr 08, 2008 at 04:17:25PM -0500, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: Cummins go thru injectors too from what I

A lot of the History HD stuff is not HD, and they zoom or stretch the std def stuff (even if it is widescreen on std def) to fit the HD 16:9, so sometimes things are a bit weird. --R Rolf wrote: I honestly think its the history channel as I remember pic being skewed as well. I dont have OTA
