Yeah, the 6.7s are having some problems, however most of it seems to be DPF and Computer related. From what i've been reading, the engine itself has been mostly fine. They had some problems early on where the computer messed up, and let the DPF get plugged completely.
But don't forget people usually come to forums because of problems. Something like 80% of all Dodge's pickup sales are diesel too.

I have to agree with you, if anyone actual read your first post

You were simpy stating what MIGHT happen after the engine overheats. You will have to excuess the over pertective Duracrap guy's.
