I could pick out a couple of things that have gone wrong for a few people with GM and Dodges, but it isn't a complete and total failure like the Ford engines, and the problems aren't consistent.
most of the issues are related to owners and bad technicians not fully trained on the newer engines.
I am also starting to hear about major problems with the 6.7 as of late. My gf is driving from BR to NOLA right now, and if you wanna see another recently broken down 6.4, just make that drive

If you have a gauge cluster problem. I had one on my 05 chevy with the 6.0 gas motor. Sent the whole cluster to a guy on eBay and he replaced the motors for cheap. Just made sure I filled up my truck before I sent it off and I think I had it back within a week. Has worked fine for a few years now.

He's about to get really mad, tell you you're wrong, tell your what's wrong with GM's and Dodge's, and then call you stupid.
New truck looks good though, should be able to get another 100k out it easily. Glad you were finally able to offload the F250.

They do. Bad injectors, cracked engine blocks, failed pumps, all issues the GM and Dodge guys have and they do indeed complain. Navistar International knows how to build diesel engines, they made the 7.3L, the 6.0, and the 6.4 and those same engines saw fleet use in buses and tow trucks. Vast majority of the issues came form owners who didn't follow maintenance procedures, added aftermarket tunes, and technicians who tried throwing parts at the problem instead of proper diagnosis.
