    You don't think 50% will make it to 600k miles then?
    (That's the in frame mileage.... Not the tons of other things needed along the way)

    I'm not a DD15 fan but I'd still say the rating is probably fairly accurate.....no?

    I think B50 1mil means 50% of engines will last 1mil miles without inframe/rebuild... or I am wrong ?
