Question 08-10 SD upper core support issues?

For those that have these trucks. I was just wondering are the 2008-2010 6.4's really having a problem with their upper radiator core supports?? everywhere ive gone lately i keep seeing banner ads for aftermarket replacements of that part. I have not seen any mentions of people talking about failures with this part, but since my trucks neither a 6.4 or a 08-10, i can honestly say i havent been paying that close of attention to those models issues..

The factory support is made from magnesium I believe and many think it flexes too much causing the radiators to develop leaks. In turn companies have started to sell all steel supports to combat the flexing problems.
