The Duramax is an iron block using aluminum heads...they had head issues when they first came out, but they have seemingly since resolved it.
Before anyone gets too critical of this you should know that Cummins has done the same thing with the Signature Series class 8 truck engine.

it has been done before. the Cummins engine will last longer then the rest of the truck.
I just have one thing to clear up that jacob has. the Cummins and GM Bosch HPCR engines do not use engine oil to hydraulicaly lift the injectors, this is the way the Ford engines work. the Cummins and Isuzu engines use electrical impulces from the ECM to open the injectors. one of the problems with the Ford 6.0 International-Navistar engine was the oil could froth causeing the injector to fail. this was a common problem with the engines as well as turbo issues and head bolt problems. . .BTW, did you know the 6.oh-no only has 4 head bolts per head

Thats insane. I've heard that before but didnt beleive it. When the truck falls apat around the engine I'll just yank it and put it in a car and have a diesel powered sleeper.
