Guys I know with the newer fords 6.7 are having lots of emmision control sensor problems they are newer rigs 13 & up.
There are lots of existing designs in use across the globe that are good but we cant seem to get them here. Toyota's come to mind.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

EGT(Exhaust gas temperature) sensor is the only "common" issue we're having with them. Very quick and inexpensive fix with a warranty extension due to the commonality of the issues.
Pretty much every vehicle I've ever worked with has one of those type issues.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Fiat made the engine in the dodge. Piece of crap.

Well, yes and no.  Motori actually developed it a few years ago but then Fiat acquired all the shares from multiple different sources for Motori so I guess since Fiat owns Motori Diesel anything that was once Motori is now Fiat which is pretty much the same way with Dodge/Chrysler since Fiat owns them, too.

I didn't know the Ram with the ecodiesel was a POS.  Never really hear much about them and I'm not sure if I've ever even seen one on the road.  I've never been a very big fan of Dodge trucks so maybe I just never notice them if they are.

Maybe it is a karma kind of thing- GM was all but ready to put their name on the almost identical VM Motori engine in Europe for their Cadillac version, then the GM bankruptcy thing came along.  Not that the engine is a bad design, but it seems the issues with the motors blowing up tend to be originating from a quality control problem the data suggests.  An example would be main caps improperly torqued during engine assembly at the factory, etc., infrequently happening with relatively low miles.

Mini duramax/Isuzu
This.

If its based off this bulletproof industrial motor then it may be a winner.
