Yeah...these motors are quite different. I've worked on many diesels, from back hoes to steam rollers, to of course trucks, etc..... these are very sensor reliant for one, Yes they've been out there for 10 yrs+ but because these are a different setup most diesel techs don't have the training behind it...or scanning equipment.
Something as little as a bad coolant cap can blow head gaskets and kill these engines. Other engines when installing heads, the position of the crankshaft doesn't matter, though most of us mechanics would clock it at TDC 12 o'clock position.....on this engine you do that and you break rockers, bend valves... this engine must be clocked at 6 o'clock.
Few of the differences

I don't even know what to say. I'm speechless. I do know that my husband despite everything, loves this freakin truck and wants to keep it forever (he's a Lions fan too, go figure). If Anthony can fix it, we are driving it to Kansas City every time it needs anything for the rest of its life.
