The following issues scared me off as there are enough reports to substantiate a problem. If you care to start at this link and follows it a bit.
As stated earlier it takes a while to iron out the kinks but clearly many happy folks towing with these rigs.

If you look at the dates in that link, the last post was in Feb of 2013, almost a year ago. Also, the sig lines of most of the folks show '12 model year trucks.
I was kinda concerned about this also, when I was doing the research before I bought my truck at the end of '12. I made sure that it was build after the date of the Nov. '12 fix to the IC & radiator shield.
It appears that most folks with problems have been in pre Nov '12 builds, and then in places with combined high heat & humidity. Since the Pacific Northwet doesn't usually get humid when it's hot, or hot when it's humid, I figured the good specs and otherwise good reviews outweighed the risk.
So far, the turbo has worked flawlessly. Just wait though, now that I've opened my yap, the truck will probably go BOOM tomorrow.
