We run into these same def issues in the trucking industry regardless of truck brand, the trick is to keep ur def tank full all the time cus if u let it get low the def that coats the inside of the tank dries and flakes off and then works its way into the filters and censors cuz once def dries it never goes back to wet so imagine the dried def flake you see at the pump thats spilled clogging up ur system so if you keep it full theres less def drying and flaking.

To many kids and tuners is also an issue plus the 6.0 head bolts there is 10 i think ewww unlike the 7.3 with 18 a head. Also early 6.o had bad circulation with coolant. 6.4 runs a VGT turbo kinda like a pre spooler. Variable geometry turbo so more get up and go but yes 6.4 not good. The newer ones with all the filters and scrubbers is where the issues are chockimg any engine is not good period.

I'm loving my old '93 F250 7.3 Turbo/5 spd 4x4. Great MPG, but only so-so on power. It's slow going up hill, but at least it's slow going down hill! It will pull a lot, but it's no speed demon. Straight pipe exhaust makes it sound like a big Caterpillar dozer going along, which I love!

06 , LBZ . 368k just had a head gasket issue . Rebuilt , original turbo , Allison still holding up . running strong definitely one of the better Duramax engines 👌🏼

I have a suburban with the 6.5 turbo and under 100k on it. I was going from NC to Florida pulling a 25 foot boat and lost the turbo with 400 miles to go or 400 miles home. I topped out at 55 on I95 the rest of the trip. I got 400k outta my LMM and sold it still running great and I have a LP5 now and have already been through 2 fuel injectors and pig tails on 2 and 4 before 135k.

Appreciate the honesty on the cp4 issues with the LMLs from Ryan... nothing gets inside your head more than reading on all the forums and FB groups about cp4, head gasket, and piston issues. If you treat it well and maintain it well, it'll treat you well.

I came from a 6.0 Powerstroke to a 6.7 Cummins and I can say I am a Cummins guy going forward, I just like how they pull. The Cummins is easy to work on, reliable and the sound is just perfect. My brother in law runs 6.7 powerstroke pickup for his grading buisness and It has been dead reliable towing 19K pound equipment around, but his big Volvo dump truck is a 11L Cummins.

I worked in a diesel shop during the late 90's and early 200's. It was a constant flow of 6.5's. The one mechanic there had a GMC full sized van with a 5.9 Cummins in it. During that time Id say the 6.5, 2000's the 6.0L and the 6.4. International really shit the bed with those two engines which was sad especially after the success of the 7.3 which I rarely saw along with the 5.9. Id say right now you cant go wrong with either diesel engine choice. I think most of their problems are around the emission systems and not poor engine design or major flaws. I do ride a 21 Powerstoke currently and I have zero complaints with 50,000 KM put on in a year with some very heavy towing. Its frigging cold here in winter, saw -55C twice this past winter and the truck fired tight up without being plugged in. Those are my experiences but experiences may differ 😆

A good friend of mine lost the cp4 in his old 2016 LML with Only 36,000 miles. I would never own one after that. Also, working on trucks for a living, I will not hop on the "emissions compliant" band wagon. The EGR is probably the worst thing for a diesel engine, not to mention the after treatment system issues. There's alot of people out there with their trucks sitting at the dealers for DEF tank/nox problems. My truck was one of them at one point. I'll be deleting my L5P once my warranty is up.

I sure love my 1999 dodge 3500 5.9 24v no issues, replaced lift pump and vp pump and good fuel pressure and she runs good.

2020 Duramax here and I have 139K on mine. Obviously highway miles pulling a trailer 90 percent of the time. Keep it serviced and run good DEF. I have the work truck version without all the extra electronics. The coolest thing electrical is the remote tailgate release. I use it often and it's very helpful when backing up to loading spot. Overall it's a great truck with more than enough power.

Love my LBZ but also love my 17 Powerstroke 6.7. The LBZ is my weekend truck, the 6.7 is our family car! It’s a King ranch and is way more comfortable than the LBZ is. It is just a nice damn truck, both have been equally reliable for me. Can I nominate the Maxforce engine used by international as the worst Diesel engine ever?

Pre-emissions diesel trucks are going up in value so much it makes sense to restore them. Uncle lives in Ohio rust belt country, has a 1999ish Dodge Ram, Cummins, 4wd, auto, dually, extra cab, but it was getting rusty after 20 years. Had a new bed, new doors, new front fenders put on it, frame and cab were solid but grinded down/repainted with an anti-corrosive style paint. Whole truck repainted to that factory silvery/grey. New shocks and springs all around, front end was completely rebuilt/refreshed, but drivetrain wise he never had an issue with that truck, it was 100% rock solid reliable in those first 20 years he owned it, had around 200k miles on it when it was "restored". Still pulling its weight on his "hobby" farm, gets lent out to his grand kids to pull crap, I'm betting 90% of those 200,000 miles it was pulling something heavy.

YES, also did Perkins not make a conversation Gas to Diesel Engine for the carriers. I remember my friend's brother who managed the fleet of those Conversations Diesel. They had a BIG problem. In the 80s we bought a Kabota Lawn riding mower. I wanted a Diesel engine to replace the GAS mower we had. A year after we got a mower. When talking to Kabota shop guys. They had a lot of people that wanted a GAS riding lawn mower from Kabota. So Kabota took a Diesel block and built a GAS engine. We had a new style Perkins in a chipper. I saw no issues with it.

I work for a portable restroom company in Colorado and we run a mix of one ton and medium duty trucks. While most of our one tons are Ford/Chevy gassers, we gave up on powerstroke (6.0) a long time ago. My first daily driver at company was a 04 F550 which barely made it past 150k miles. Only reason she hung on was because we had a wrecked F550 as a donor vehicle. Another powerchoke 6.0 F550 was so problematic that the supervisor joked how we would spend $100 daily to get her running. Duramax on the other hand is more likely to make the quarter million mile club at my company... 2007 GMC 5500 is pushing 280k miles!

My old man had a 9th gen F250 with a 7.3, my first diesel was an 05 Silverado with an LLY, and my current truck is a 15 LML that the previous owner threw a bunch of aftermarket crap onto without bothering to do the job right. I've only needed to have the LLY towed once because the glow plug module was burnt out (which the dealer never mentioned), and the LML had an oversized oil filter pop the gasket and almost seized up in October, then the crankshaft broke on Christmas. At the same time, I got rid of the 05 because the head gaskets went out at 125k miles, and the crankshaft on the 15 snapped at 284k miles. 7.3 is still king in my eyes, but I'll have to call the LML a fair second.

Your ‘15 snapped a crankshaft at only 284K. That’s nowhere near a fair second nor is the 7.3 the top. 325 horse 5.9 from ‘05-‘07 Rams. The best balance between power and reliability. Reliable and durable, still simple to work on, pre emissions so no egr or dpf, and has the power to be comparable to all the newer diesels. Go own a Cummins for a year, I guarantee a 7.3 or Duramax won’t even be in your list as best.

Most unreliable diesel…. The GM 350 diesel hands down… Was based on the 350 gas engines and they made very minimal modifications. It was so bad that it’s probably the gods honest reason why Diesel engines never became popular in the United States but went on to own a large portion of engines abroad. As far as the most reliable? I think it’s a wash on reliability between old Cummins and old Mercedes stuff. I think old Detroits deserve an honorable mention there too… despite they leak oil horrendously. 6.0 ford deserves an honorable mention as well… simply because it’s so hated and trashed on but is a great all around engine once you fix the head gasket/oil cooler issues.
