It's called "near-beer".

Really? I can smell a truck running in front of my house for 2 minutes. Around here, we are all on 100x100 plots or even smaller, with the house in the middle of the plot. And on a nice day with the windows open, it's horrible.
Just checked the truck going by today, it's an International... and definitely not diesel.

I guess there are different degrees of clean.
Or my neighbors had some nasty garbage.

Ya, because the newer (post y2k) VW gas engines SUCK! Check out reliabiltiy ratings on jetta's for example.

European cars have never been a symbol of reliability, just luxury and ability to be very smooth at very high speeds.

I think its kind of funny that you talk so much crap about the V10 that was made in 1997 and is still in use, when your trucks engine was used in 2008,2009 and 2010 then dropped for a much better engine!

Look at how many threads the V10 section are active today (i.e. posted in today), it's about 5 or so (I didn't actually count them). Then go to the 6.4 section, they have about 20 threads that have been posted in today. If you keep looking you'll see the 6.4 section has FAR more traffic than the 6.8... wonder why?

That's a double-sided coin, much like the "how many V10's are for sale in Colorado" debate. Is it good that there are so many PSD's for sale (very popular) or bad (everyone's trying to get rid of them)?

From there you can ASSUME many things, which may or may not be correct. I would assume people in general come here when their truck has an issue. More traffic means more issues. This certainly is not true 100% of the time, but I believe it to be the case a majority of the time. Now given the 6.4 has more traffic than the V10, the previous assumptions allows me to say the 6.4 has more issues than the V10, specially considering there are more V10's than 6.4's.
Additionally, the lower traffic in the V10 shows that people post fewer problems.

I guess my point is that a better way to get the number issues each engine has is not to look at "how many problems are in the first page" but rather ask "how many problems have been reported in the last 5 days."
