Who has one and has put some miles on it? Reliability?

We have 3 on the farm. They get great mileage and have been good to us. Like all new diesels they can’t spend a lot of time sitting around running or the exhaust filter will get plugged.

When I worked in an underground mine , the only engines allowed to operate down there were diesels because they couldn’t get gas engines to run clean enough, true story only kind I tell, the exhaust from those equipment engines emitted cold clean exhaust, you could put your face in the exhaust pipe while the engine was running and breathe clean air, ! No smell, no smoke, no heat, huge diesel powered equipment, I personally operated many many machines down in the mine, and almost zero emissions,

No first hand experience with them. But the neighbor who farms with me had one and melted down a piston at 12,000 miles. 70 year old dude who wasn't even hauling with it, just driving it down the highway like a car.

Have a friend who owned one, it was in the shop a lot. Dealer even replaced the engine. Eventually bought back by Dodge, lemon law. He had to get a lawyer though.
