we have a guy over @ ram1500diesel.com that has a 2014 EcoD and tows RV's for a living. He has almost 350K on the clock here is the list of major repairs in the first 250K miles, Light switch, tail light bulb, alignment 196,000, Lift pump - $158 part 230,000 replaced chalky serpentine belt 250,000. So these little diesels are nothing to turn your nose up at.
There is also a 141 page thread at ram1500diesel . com called Eco diesel engine failures. 141 is a lot of pages. And I think you forgot to list the recalls.
Nose up.
As does the EcoBoost engine! The 2014 had it's share of engine issues yes. Care to look at the EB's record in both engine failures and recalls? The only engine issue I have had was a coolant solenoid valve that was repaired under the powertrain coverage costing my nothing. That would be the only major issue have had some minor issues like the drivers puddle light and the fog lamps shaking. Both replaced under the 3/36,000 coverage at no cost.
I have had one recall that I received a free grill cover to protect the intercooler from freezing in the winter. the other to did not pertain to my truck.
But this thread was about the new Ford 3.0 diesel not Rams.
And sorry Bock but I was told by a Ford powertrain engineer at the 2014 North American Auto Show AKA the Detroit Auto Show that ford would not be bringing a diesel to the f150 and I reported that fact right here! So what Ford was telling it's dealers is NOT what Ford was telling the public and that is what I based and will base my post/posts on!
