[QUOTE="nxhappy, post: 15800382, member: 50238"] the early EB motors had issues with the timing chains, so you DON'T want a 11 or 12. the 13-14s were much better. The 15-17 is the sweet spot. nonetheless many documented EB motors have gone over 200k with zero issues. Since it is DI you want to use fully syn motor oil and change every 4k miles. the plugs need to be changed every 12-15k miles due to fouling. the intake system MUST have a catch can to remove all the sludge/gas/spooge. If you do your regular maintenance the EB will last a very very long time. hell you can even mod it with larger turbos and meth to make one hell of a beast truck. I am not rejecting the 5.0 complementary. But why would you buy one just to spend $6 grand on a SC to make it fast? The EB is one hell of a motor even for towing, just with a simple tune. And the tune is only $500-600. [/QUOTE]
