I won't get into the argument as it is the same old Dodge, Chev, and Ford deal. My Duramax has 275,000 miles and the turbo has not taken a $hit. I have replaced the rear pads, alternator, and waterpump and the belt. I am speaking about my truck only. I have had some that were a POS and others that were OK. Last Ford that I had I put a 460 in. It was a good truck, but I didn't really like it. Last Dodge that I had and the only Dodge PU was a 64 model slant 6 with 3 speed, no PS, and no A/C. I sure didn't keep it long, but one of my employees said it is still going strong in Mexico.
I can't afford a new one every 2 years like in the old days, but based on my Duramax and what my shop sees on a daily basis, I guess I would buy another. I would consider an eccoboost.
