I agree 100% with buying a first model year, especially a first model year of a new engine, tranny, whatever. Granted, most will be okay, but there is usually a higher percentage of problems with the first year stuff. First year buyers are "Beta Testers".
The '01 GM Duramax had more fuel system problems than following years and the '03 PSD had such huge problems Ford bought back several trucks. The '03 HO CTD went to common rail (same system ans the GM), and had some growing pains as well.
