After having a couple new vehicles that had issues, I can honestly say I understand. Once you lose confidence in your ride, might as well get rid of it. Definitely give us a review on your thoughts between the EB and 5.0!
Congrats on the new ride!

Ohh where do I start...
Got the truck back today and the explanation I got on the turbo that was still backfiring yesterday after the TSB fix was perfectly fine after they put everything else back together. Then asked what the TSB was for the tranny overhall and was told "I'm sorry it wasn't a TSB I just thought it was." "We fixed what the codes and the tranny specialist recommended to fix and now everything is perfect sir!" Well this just wasnt good enough for me so I drove up to the lot and checked out the deals on the 12's with 5.0's. Found one that was just to good to be true! Traded the 2011 in for a 2012 FX4 With the Lux package a 5.0 and a few other goodies and walked out 2 hours later with a new truck and the same payment. They are also installing a leveling kit for free and swapping my rims and tires over to the new one at no cost. Keeping my JL speakers, sub, bakflip cover and anything else I added and driving home a new truck tomorrow. Some may say I'm an idiot and I have a warranty if anything else was to go wrong with the ECO abut I really don't won't to deal with it and especially after the 36K B2B is up and a turbo goes out and I have to argue with the dealer to cover. So I lost a little of what I had paid down on the truck but got a SWEET NEW ONE!
IS this how you guys thought it would end???
I sure didn't!
