2015 Ford F250 diesel.
At about 10K miles went into "limp" mode while towing, half way between Roswell and Albuquerque. Had to be towed all the way back to Roswell. Dealer cleaned DEF filter, nothing else found.
At about 20K miles got a warning about DEF filter saturated, also engine "wrench" symbol. This was about halfway between Austin Nevada and Ely Nevada. Dropped the truck down to 4th gear and ran at about 2500 RPMs for a hour and it eventually fixed itself.
At about 25K miles transfer case failed and had to be replaced.
At about 30K miles, check engine light came on for a oil presence sensor failing. Replaced under warranty.
IMO, modern diesels are not the tractor like engines of ol' that can run for 500,000 miles without any issues. They are no more (and possibly less) durable than their gas counterparts.
