Really? I've heard nothing but bad things about them up until 2014. Nearly everyone I know with one in that year range started using oil between 100-150k. I'm just trying to understand if the newer ones are actually fixed or if they just haven't gotten enough miles on them yet.


I’ve heard people say powerstroke, duramax and late model cummins diesel and 5.4 fords are good engines too but I don’t believe everything I hear
