Looks like they are going to make the gas engines too complicated for their own good along with the diesels. Up until 2007 diesels used to be considered the pillars of reliability due to their relative simplicity, mainly due to the lack of an ignition system. Since 2007 diesels have been made more complicated in the name of reduced emissions, and it seems most of the problems with the diesels is due to the emissions systems, or the injection systems that are also designed to reduce emissions.
I, and I think others on this forum have sacrificed the power of the diesels for the simplicity and lower cost of repair of the gas engines. Not trying to start a fight because I know a lot of people with the newer diesels like them better than the trucks of a decade ago, but I don't know anyone that wouldn't rather have the engines today without the emission systems.
