I have only owned a diesel about 2 years. bought my 6.7 powerstroke with 75K miles on it. I just got to 105K miles on my way to the SW us for some fun in the sun and climbing a long but not too steep grade the truck lost power. I made it to the top and it died. Towed to a ford dealer, we thought it was an electrical issue until the mech couldn't turn the engine. He pulled the pan and metal fragments all over. What you call a catastrophic failure. I have been in a motel for 5 nights and the truck at this time has the cab pulled and the engine being replaced. I thought these things would go 300 to 500K miles. this is going to put a dent in the savings...…...
