Bought the GM 5.7 diesel in 1979. Yikes, not good. Bought the 6.2 after they told me they had all the bugs worked out. Except for the bad heads that cracked between the valves, injector pump that failed and transmission that failed twice, and the wipers that would turn on by themselves, ac compressor failed - all by 80,000 miles.
I bought a new '88 Ford p/u with a 460 that the dipstick didn't seem right. They had not tightened a spindle nut on the front axle, had a nice rattle over speed bumps.I took it back and asked them to verify proper dipstick and they said it was correct. 5 years later at another dealer I mentioned the dipstick issue (I always used the correct amount of oil and mentally adjusted for oil use) they looked at the dipstick and said it was the wrong one. Had to buy another , but then was correct when changing oil. Of course I also complained of the truck using a quart of oil every 500-600 miles with 60,000 miles on it. The dealer says "Oh we have a service bulletin for that - Ford says it is normal to use a quart as low as every 250 miles".
Pick one and keep your fingers crossed.
