Nope I agree. I have a Edge CTS monitor that reads and clears codes, so a mobile scanner with me always. I do love the ability of the technology to help trouble shoot for sure. I was eluding more to the fact of parts costs.
For example, a 7.3 turbo runs $700 or so. These new VGT turbo's are $2500-3000.
An injection pump for a 7.3 runs $900, a CP3 or CP4 is $1800-2000.
And so on. So, it worries me to run these newer diesels out of warranty more for cost of parts than anything. They break HARD....even though we have twice the power with similar mileage...the cost of technology is a double edged sword. Don't even get me started on emissions...dpf, def injection, regen....one reason mine fell off somewhere down the road....
