Like what ?
LandYacht35diesel My 1987 was on a Ford 350 chassis and was a FRED.
1. additives to every tank of fuel
2. oil changes at $235.00
3. 3 sets of fan belts
4. 2 transmissions
5. having to have shore power or a generator for starting in cold weather.
6. failed glow plugs 2 x
7. failed power steering 2 x
8. failed house isolator
9. failed grounding wire to dash
10. failed starter
11. front tires needing to be rotated every 6 thousand miles
12. failed fuel line. I had to have them cut out the heater and use generic fuel line.
13. failed starter solenoid
14. failed transmission cooler
These are a few of the many problems I and my brother had.
Only a couple of those items are exclusive to diesel.
Fan belts, transmissions,starters can fail on any engine even the gas powered ones.;)
