Sometimes system gets clogged up. I've had this happen and it sounds like you got an error msg that I've goten before. Wish it would say "error try again".
This is one of many reasons I went to be a "supporter" so as to not have banner ads and be placed on a priority system so as not to get those errors. Been great being a supporter.

I have limited personal experience with heavy duty diesels, but I have driven more than a few Cummins inlines and 6.9 naturally aspirated trucks that had well over 250,000 miles on them.

The only way I know of to quote anything is to retype it. If my computer didn't cost so much, I'd throw it in a river. It might land next to my old cell phone.
Anyway, the only point I tried to make is that American diesels, to this point in time, have been focused towards towing and heavy duty applications. Europe has been designing them specifically for "personal use" for quite awhile. That's why I'd rather have a Ford/Puegot diesel than a V6 powerstroke. It's just suits my needs better.

Any WELL built diesel that is not abused will outlast a gasoline engine any time.
