Re: what's the most reliable - advice?

Here's another thought -- availability of used parts.

I was at my local pick-n-pull yesterday when a D-jet equipped 144 was brought in. While I was pulling parts off several 240s, an 1800 guy appeared within 15 minutes and starting pulling the D-jet system parts off. "You can't get these anymore", "These are hard to find", "You've got to rebuild these cause you can't buy them.", etc. is what he was sharing with me. In the mean time, there were three complete K-jet 240 systems sitting there untouched, but I've *never* seen a 140 or 1800 at this yard before. The scarcity of pick-n-pull replacements for the D-jet in my neck of the woods would coerce me to think about the K-jet equipped 140 instead.
