    So you have not had to mess with the DPF/EGR/Coolers or turbo in 1.2 million miles?

    It isnt so much how long will the truck endure. But more about if you keep up with the maintenance.

    Ohh yes, I spent $$ on emission ; I replaced 1st turbo,DPF after 900k miles; (cleaned Dpf evey 200k) ,2 EGRs, 6 flex pipes,injector cups twice and dozens of emission sensors.; but the main engine parts are all original (crankshaft, cilinders, pistons, camshaft,bearings,rods,heads,.....).
