[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 201454, member: 315"] there are so many different scenarios I wouldn't even know where to begin. There isn't really a formula to prevent any of it. Most of the issues in the past have been inherent weakness's. It's nobody's fault if you get bad fuel and take out injectors and/or head gaskets. oil coolers haven't really been an issue that I'm aware of. EGR coolers certainly have. And they are made so damn cheap you can't expect much life out of em. And it's true right up to industrial engines. They are slowly getting more reliable with time but I still wouldn't own one without a warranty. A 10K shop bill is the norm not the exception now. You know it's bad when companies are making them so that you can pull the cab in 20 minutes to be able to work on the things. They all have different issues to. I know guys with 200K plus on em with zero issues and the next three guys couldn't get 60K on the same engine. And they are such a pain in the ass to work on that you pretty much have to take it to the dealer or you'll be on suicide watch. And it doesn't really seem to matter if they're modded up or stock. Or pulled hard daily or drove like an old fart. They're just time bombs. [/QUOTE]
