I've been shopping for several months, trying to figure out where I'm headed now that racing junky itch is finally gone. It was fun while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

After paying $4/gallon for water at a Love's Truck Stop and subsequently $3K for injectors and a lot fuel delivery components, I'm done with diesels.

Tomorrow I trade for a 2013 GMC SLT 1500 CC 6.2L 4x4. Has the trailering package, so its equipped with coolers, HD rear diff and springs and 3.73 gearing. Maybe I'll buy an Airstream and join the good SAM club ...

I was serious about a Hemi Laramie, but just couldn't justify the cost. I found a couple which had wheels, tires, lift and custom leather seats and the price was jacked $16K. Better be some nice damn wheels.

And a 6.2L motor in a F150 was near $60K

So its home ...

12.4L ...

If you are worried about water in the fuel system you can get one of these.

these have several benefits. 1) it has a water separator that is easily drain-able 2) it has a separate fuel filter of which you can get some VERY high quality filters to fit and use in addition to the factory filters. 3) it is a lift pump and reduces the strain on the factory injector pump. Not sure about Fords but the D max pup has to draw the fuel from the tank as well as pressurize the injectors. This supposedly helps the longevity of the CP3 pump on the Dmax's. 4) It separates the air / froth from the fuel. Not sure if this is just voodoo or what but it is a touted benefit.
One problem with the Duramax injectors is they are prone to failure if they get any debris over two microns. The factory filter only goes down to 10 microns. Adding one of these external filters allows you to improve and increase the filtration and double the water separation.
Here is another thread on the filter options on the Air Dog
