Welcome to the DF..... Let me give you some thing to look at so you will under stand the different D-Max motors we are talking about.
8th Vin #1-LB7 300 hp
8th Vin #2-04.5-05 LLY 310hp autos only, 300 hp manual trans and 4500/5500
8th Vin #3-06 LLY ratings are the same as vin 2
8th vin #D-LBZ 360 hp auto only, not an option in manual trans or 4500/5500 trucks>
8th Vin #6-LMM 365 hp
As for witch one to get. The 01-04 Lb7 is the king of fuel mileage with no mods. But it has some injector issues. The 04.5-05 LLY has some overheat issues when towing heavy loads. But this prob can be fixed with some cooling system mods. The 06 LLY is the best all around with the least amount of trouble. If I was going to Buy another it would be the LLY D-Max. Hope this helps you some.
