I am going to predict this motor is going to be very problem-prone, & is going to be fragile. Short lifespan.
I'm with you on that one. Ask Ford truck owners how much they like their single and dual turbo 6's....in the long run.
If I valued the opinion of Ford owner's I would be one.
I finally got my new work truck, Friday before last. I have about 1100 miles on it right now. It's a Silverado 1500 with the turbo 4. I didn't pick it.
So far, it's ok. I carry as much stuff (fully loaded) as I did on the 3/4 ton it replaced, Silverado 2500 with the 6.0.
Right now, it averages 5 mpg more than the 2500 did, It accelerates just as well, if not better.
No comment on durability yet, the 2500 had 170,000+ miles on it when I turned it in.
The only complaint I have is that the gear I carry around has given the 1500 a Carolina squat, so I need to fix that and that all that stuff I am carrying doesn't all fit in the bed like it did with the 2500, long bed vs regular bed is that issue.
