Yeah, I've owned upwards of 20 vehicles in the past 46 years. Never have I had to replace a fuel injector in anything! My 06 5.4 has 202k and has original injectors, cop's, ball joints, engine and transmission. Maybe I'm the luckiest person in the world? Some people get stuck with a lemon, it happens with all makes. I'm not the least bit brand loyal. I will buy any make with the exception of a Chrysler/Dodge.
When I said to shop around, I was referring to not paying a premium on replacement parts. Like $60 for a coil when you can buy them all day long for $37 for the same part.

Default Bought it, Thanks everybody.

I think If I looked long enough I could find something better or a better deal. This is a good truck, I like the low miles. It could be problem free for 50K, or it could blow up. I have bought a two year warranty that will protect me from a major expense, by then I should know if it's a good one or not.
I took the plunge, we'll see what happens. I'll post some pics soon.
Thanks everyone.

I honestly think you'll be fine, so long as the truck was maintained. Good thing you have an ESA, I got one with mine too and have yet to use it a year and a half later *knock on wood*. Waiting to see the pics!
