I know lots of people that have had their Powerstrokes blow up in the 150K mile range. All well maintained. $hit happens. The point is is a block that was made at the same time as one that failed but it hasn't failed in 100-150K miles defective? The warranty was for a specific set of miles/time. Their was no gauranty that they engine would last 50K, 75K, 150K miles. The guarantee was that it would last until the end of the warranty period.

It's part of the breed. Maybe you should look at a wrangler if you want a turn key, low maintenance vehicle. But in the end....Hummer, like nothing else. Lol
