      I know of quite a few of them, mostly 6.4's. They are all fleet trucks though and they idle a whollleeeeeeeeee lot. And they don't all...

      Get it. I'm of the opinion that the cam and lifter failures predominantly affect fleet vehicles with high idle times. I wouldn't worry...

      I can tell you that my 2500 diesel towing a 6000lb boat on flat ground gets about 13 mpg round trip. 21ish mpg unloaded. Dragging a 10k...
