[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1935876, member: 35543"] They’re good engines. Although valve spring failures aren’t common, they’re well documented, and they result in engine failure. Nothing is “bulletproof”. Turbochargers don’t “go out”, period. They’re lubricated and cooled by oil and coolant, just like any other engine component. What engine are you referring to? Both require regular maintenance and oil changes. There is no difference. I do the same when I hear a Gen 1 trying to impress anyone by making a lot of noise while going nowhere. Apparently you’ve never heard a 6.2 with an aftermarket exhaust; they’re nothing but rasp and drone, they sound absolutely horrible especially with an LTs. Cylinder number is not indicative of engine sound. [/QUOTE]
