I miss the simplicity and durability of the older engines, that's for sure. We have a 20+ year old 3 cylinder Kubota that will never stop running. Change the oil ever now and again and keep adding diesel, that thing will outlive me. But its dirty and sooty as can be.
My new Ram is VERY clean, but it cost an arm and 2 legs and its very complicated. I hope nothing breaks outside of warranty, cause I'll never afford the repairs! it gets very good mileage and is super clean, so that is a plus.
I just wish we could have a compromise. Cleaner burning than the older diesels, but not so complicated that they are too expensive to keep on the road.
