Most epic fail of an engine ever, engine self destructed with less than 30 k miles.
I think that single handedly ruined the American market for Diesel engines.

Mine only lasted 4300 miles, it pulled the wrist pin out of a piston while it was idling. The dealer short blocked it but I think all it needed was a new rod and piston. I sold it, and the next owner ran it over 100K miles with no problems. It actually wasn't a bad running engine, but emissions wise, it made the 617 look clean.
