#3. CP4 HPFP taking out the whole fuel system.
#4. Valves falling off of their stems taking out the whole motor.
#5. Valves sticking in their guides.
#6. Glowplugs falling off in their cylinders trashing the motor.

The CP4 problems have slowed down a lot also. It's too early to say if all the problems have been fixed. Only time will tell.
Common 6.7 Cummins problems.
#1. 07/08 has lots of turbo oil tar problems gumming things up.
#2. 07/0?? had head gasket problems.
