All three from my understanding were due to dry oil sumps. As they all ate oil it was only a matter of time before more went. The trend was there and predictable from what I know the ones that blew were taking 3-4q a day up until their early demise.

But yes the fuel economy was poor to say the least. With the psd's we refueled every 2-3 days @~ $150 with the v10's it was daily at about the same. The new bowties are equipped to shut down when batteries are fully chaged and an aux heater installed to heat the cabin's so winter we are refueling every other day @~ $150-170 summer with ac is daily at same.

As for the 6.4 psd if your bent on a diesel (I'd sure love one) there's got to be aftermarket replacement parts designed to fix the faults in the oem parts. But I do year great things about the 6.7

I'm not involved in ambulance service in my area...but I notice out here the ambulance service has gone to Chevy the past 5 years...when for years they used to be Ford E series...diesel.

The ambulance service did get some Sprinter diesels ambulances, along with the Chevies 5 years ago....but since then seem to have gone to Chevy 4500...van cab and chassis...with mounted ambulance body ....completely .

I don't know the details as to why.

Probably because if you want a Van chassis with a diesel Chevy is the only game in town.

In my neck of the woods it's mostly Ford F350 trucks with an occasional RAM 3500 truck.
