2020 6.7 Power Stroke w/Steel Pistons
Here's a video from Mr Truck. He missed it, but the new Power Stroke will have Mahle Steel pistons. This should make this engine platform good for an easy 1 million miles. Link

"Also, any connecting rod that can survive the compression stroke of one of these diesels shouldn't have any trouble with holding the piston back at the top of the stroke."
Maybe, maybe not. Don't forget that the rod just has to resist the compression on that compression stroke, but when the piston gets to the end of it's stroke, then the energy is trying to pull the rod apart and the rod is fairly thin where it connects to the piston, and bolted together at the other end. The two weak links.
