Message: [QUOTE="7point3, post: 204599, member: 1923"] I have only had this thing a few months. You learn as you go. I love my truck & I have acquaintances that have them, and a couple guys I know work on them for a living. It would appear that the longevity of these motors comes at a hefty price. They may go 500k, but takes many $$$$$ to get there as often as not. I am not bashing anything or trying to start S**t. I read and read and read, and talk and ask, and the more I do the more I have these............."huh oh I shouldn't have bought this" moments. Seems as tuff as they are, they kind of run on a "fragile ecosystem".....like the motor itself is bulletproof but the peripherals ( injectors, pumps,yada yada) are all made of egg shells or something. Like setting a blacksmith anvil on a glass bench. Seems like there is always so much to be done, you don't have time to do it all. It appears this is the case on all brands too, not any particular engine. Obviously this is only MY perception. How skewed is it? [/QUOTE]
