I’ve been keeping my eye on these also…

So far from all I have heard has been really positive. The only thing I heard was one guy upgraded as he was hauling heavy loads and needed a bigger truck.

Only issue I can see, is the timing belt that is at the rear of engine, and is covered in engine oil all the time, not sure what engineer thought this was a good idea.
You have to pull the cab, and transmission and back end of engine off to change the belt.
And as we all know belts don't last for ever.
Also, what is wrong with timing gears? They are ment to be in oil all the time, belts are not.
