Warranty I've been out of warranty since 48K miles when I gave the dealer my notice and told them I'll fix it myself.
Oil changes. You got to remember its a diesel and it does holds about 3 gallons of oil so it go much farther between oil changes like I do 10k between oil changes. Book states 7.5k miles. I buy all oil in bulk 5 gallon buckets which is much cheaper than the the standard gallon jug. Like my truck is offroad more often so I went with a Frantz Bypass oil filter and capable of extending oil changes now. Just a picture of my 400HP Cummins...

If you blow a turbo its because you never installed a pyrometer to monitor exhaust temps and cool the turbo down properly.

Here is what 2001 Dodge Cummins can do in about 5 years with 20k miles oil changes hauling boats for a living.
