I dont really have a problem with the size or weight. I was just surprised that they are that heavy now-a-days lol.

I talked to my mechanic about the newer diesels in general. He's never worked on them nor is trained on them as they are pretty rare in our area and he didnt see but maybe 1-3 a year. He does have some friends that have them and one of them is on his 4th engine in 70k miles. It was a 2014 model. I have no idea why or how that happens but he is against them.

Just gathering opinions and thoughts still.
