The amazing Vern Diesel. You and your truck should be in the archives. I still think Ram should honor you with a new truck of your choice. Congratulations AGAIN!

Here's what he said, "Because of already owning a 2014 and fuel economy we have used this engine to tow Airstream TTs commercially. An aftermarket tune has proven to be a good investment. 371,000 miles my first one pushed a head gasket due to low coolant from an EGR cooler leak. Bought a new warrantied replacement engine very cheap and put it in with an EGR cooler delete to keep this from happening again. It cracked a head at 423,000 miles. Business partner has a 2015 his fuel pump imploded filling a cylinder in his at 452,000 miles. Another forum member has 517,000 on his still rolling. For a disposable uber fuel efficient motor and with emissions beating tune its got pros & cons."
You win! I would have bet the ranch that he said the opposite. Good thing I didn't bet. 🙃
