I should apologize for my "yuck" comment earlier. You guys make some good points and these things aren't designed to be race cars. I've got the 5.3 and it's no supercar on the takeoff either.

It seems to be gaining power with more miles as it gets broken in.

At this point that diesel engine is tight. It gets a little sloppier and some components do not have to work so hard to do their job. I have heard so many times, by all types of diesel driver's, that the diesel engine is not even getting broke in till the 100k miles mark.

I should edit this though, that those diesel driver view points were with older design diesels. The newer designs may have a whole different sweet spot as time goes by.

I’ve heard 40-60k miles, but it’s certainly not the second oil change, which is what most of the world thinks…..
