What you said definitely makes sense - maybe that's why guys who run the hell out of these trucks report little to no problems over the long haul. Whereas a large number of us aren't towing 10,000 lbs 24/7 or climbing 11,000 ft mountain passes on our way to work.
The more I hang around this site the more anxious I am to rip off the EGR and DPF.
