    I might be a little sceptical because of the 50,000 mile oil change intervals and some of the numbers where bearings are concerned.

    Before I bought that truck I would have a savvy independent mechanic pull the valve cover and the oil pan for an inspection of the bearings, crank, liners, top end and anything else that might be a concern.

    Does the truck have any warranty? I'm still not liking the fact Detroit engines can lose the internal oil tube things and than engine burns up. And not to fond of aluminum cables on the new cascadias.
