Discussion on Heavy-Duty Truck Engine Reliability

What happens here

While Alex continues to work on the loader's electrical issues, the main speaker reads an email from a viewer named JR. The email discusses the viewer's experience with different Ford truck engines (7.3L Godzilla and 6.8L) and diesel engines, highlighting issues like internal component disintegration and turbo failures. JR advises considering higher-quality turbo upgrades when factory turbos fail and emphasizes the importance of extended warranties for new vehicles due to potential downtime and costly repairs. Alex comments on the challenges of new engine designs and the lack of long-term reliability data.

Goal: Share and solicit opinions on the reliability of various heavy-duty truck engines, specifically regarding common failure points like turbos and internal components.
