And the Mercedes engines that routinely puke headgaskets is what? Or the Benz engine that Self destructs when the timing chain isn't promptly replaced at just over 100K miles...Plenty of GM's see 250k miles without head gasket issues and on the original timing chains...My brother has a truck that saw 450K miles on the original 350 engine...and it was used as a truck its entire life...not a people mover.
