I lived through multiple problems with the engine. The fan clutch locked up at 3500 miles. It was back multiple times for phantom CEL's, a new fuel injector was needed at 24000 miles and the NOX sensor has failed twice. This has been the least reliable new truck I have ever owned.
Rick,
To me, that is pretty much the par for a 1st year product.
Knowing the circumstances under which you bought it --- IIRC a rather quick decision prompted by the untimely blow up of the 6.0 yet again, I can understand why you pulled the trigger when you did... but it is still not a proven product by any stretch of the imagination.
You may recall I did the diagnostics for the cold weather NOx sensor CEL, and the gyrations they had to go through (EPA and all) to get it fixed.
I hate to say this.. but the old engineering rule of pioneers:
"You can always tell the pioneers in the business, they are lying face down, with arrows sticking out of their backs..."
That is why I own old technology, not because I don't like shiny stuff, but because I have my pile of shiny duds in the garage.
