I'm going to say that i like mine and i guess i have had good luck with it over the last 9 years of ownership. Other then preventative maintenance with only motorcraft parts and synthetic oil (rotella T6) i have had only a few issues none of them requiring more then a day in the shop. The truck is driven daily at least 70 miles. I do know a lot about this engine and monitoring it with proper gauges is a must in order to fix things before they become catastrophic. Most of these head gasket leaks are caused by running the truck after something is already broken or messed up such turbo sticking causing High boost over 30psi is one cause, or temps run so hot that egr cooler cracks and causes coolant to enter cylinders and boom bye bye head gaskets. Much of this is prevented by keeping a close eye on a good set of gauges not the idiot lights on the dashboard. Maybe i have just been lucky or my time is coming. Regardless i have a nice looking truck that i will run into the ground. Also i prefer the exhaust sounding like a jet engine rather then bigfoot farting into a garbage can like you would get from a dodge exhaust.
