These are the good engine, especially in the HD Range.
But have an Eye on the HP/TQ values, way down by comparsion to the VM.

They decided to burn the reliability off the vehicle to get the high advertisement HP/TQ Numbers that US Customers demand.

Seems like there is a lot of that going with all the vehicle builders anymore Ozy. Pry looks good to the corporate people, get to sell more units. Just doesn't look sustainable to me in the long-term since the cost of the new ones is heading for Mars. Then again, it seems the vast majority of society doesn't buy for the long-term on anything anymore. Just must have the latest and greatest regardless of cost. Wyoming bases the registration cost off the factory value, and what my 2012 Laramie cost brand new in 2012 buys a plain jane tradesmen today. Ok, rant over!
So far we have had a good experience with our Ecodiesel. Hopefully it continues.

The local dealer in Wasilla ordered parts on 4/8/20 for mine, said it will take 2 weeks to arrive. I'm right at 8900 miles & used all most 2 gallons of coolant since day one, hopefully the "updated" EGR lasts little longer. Does anyone know with the new parts an update is required? When the dealer fixed my oil leak, they also preformed a update. My truck has never ran this strong, it's a night & day difference and no longer thinking about trading it in. Hopefully they leave the current tune alone.
