Just over 15,000 -- engine ran rough 4 times and I got the P0304 code each time -- cylinder 4 misfire. Dealer can't duplicate the problem -- only lasted for a few minutes on each occasion. Truck runs fine otherwise -- when my wife lets me drive it.

11k and one check engine light deal. They said it was a loose sensor. Loving the free oilchanges.

Other than Jonesey's inept dealer, looks like a great track record here.

Can you imagine the censoring if this was a 6.0 PSD forum???

I could not be happier with the truck. I have just had some bad luck with service. Any vehicle will have some minor problems but I feel for the 6.0 PSD guys.

Finally had a problem with the truck. It's covered in snow and ice and been sitting there for 2 weeks now. Waiting for spring. Soon as all that snow melts it will be back on the road. Running fine

Cool

Just one problem at 6000 miles. Ate a turbocharger seal towing a racecar trailer. Happened in Pahrump, NV - about 400 miles from home. Apparantly DC redesigned it as the new one had a new part number. Probably due to Jake brake and HO developing too much pressure. Only complaint with repair was that it took a week and DC would not reimburse me for expense to go back down to get it. Now have 30,000 miles - half or more towing an #8500 racecar trailer up and over 8500' passes in the Sierra's. LOVE IT.
