The LLY thing is confusing, they were basically two versions with the same designation (no one really seems to know why). Only a 2006 LLY is the same as a LBZ except for the factory programming. All the tuners for the 06 and 07's brought them to the same spec.

Got home late last night from a trip to PA, NY and NJ. Towed the 41' toy hauler, Harley and all our gear like a dream going up the PA mountains with power to spare. We averaged between 10.8 and 11.2 MPG the entire trip cruising between 65-70 MPH. Michigan roads sucked balls but only had to deal with 21 miles of that crap. Trailer ate a tire in the first 70 miles, I replaced all 4 tires 3rd day into the trip at just over $1500.00 for 14 ply G rated Goodyears.

Glad you made it back, I was waiting for call to bring one of the 350's to pull you home! My 14 F 350 pulled like a beast with the top gun behind it. (80 mph) Arizona is a long pull back to Michigan. See you this week. Truck looks sweet just don't tell my bride I said that.

Brian what did you end up getting for your 8.1 if you don't mind me asking.

Can confirm on the LB7 injector issues. I went through 2 sets of injectors until I finally traded it in on a 2013 LML. The trick is keeping the fuel filter changed and getting clean fuel. An aftermarket lift pump with filters helps a lot. Night and day difference between the two. Now I just have to wait for the warranty to run out on this new one so that I can delete all this emissions garbage.

Just got back from vacation and do not have time to clean it up for pictures that show the true condition that should get me my price. I am in no hurry and may keep it and get rid of the Lincoln as an extra vehicle.

That 8.1 with the Allison is going to hold its value.
