    I know it’s not the exactly the same but pretty much every diesel engine is a turbo. They are hailed as some of the most reliable engines in vehicles. GMs new 2.7l turbo gas engine is supposedly heavily based on a diesel engine and so far has a good track record since 2018 in the Silverado.

      Just yesterday I spoke to my mechanic during my inspection and asked which brand he suggested to avoid and without thought replied GM.

      He also had a Ram truck in the shop, a o ring in an injector went. The truck was under 100k, yes with the diesel.

      Everyone who is down voting similar sentiments as mine on the risk of reliability going to turbo I bet you doesn’t actually work on their cars and probably a good chunk just lease. Making the problem of reliability/maintenance irrelevant.

      Will see in a few years.
