All of the newer diesels are pretty tough & powerful & need no bullet proofing or aftermarket modifications to get the job done.

I am by no means advocating things like deleting the parts that cause the engine life to suffer a short existence, and get horrible fuel mileage, and reduce performance. BUT.... The things (government mandated) that are done to a modern diesel engine dramatically reduce it's life and performance. Raising the temperature to 1000° + to burn off soot in the DPF, and injecting Urea into the CAT, and recirculating exhaust (soot) back into the engine, AND having to cool that in a device the WILL eventually leak and destroy the engine. Not to mention a CP4.2 pump failure that will, well... ruin the engine as well. These are all cause for alarm, and anything that can be done to minimize these effects should be done. IMHO
