havent heard much about these motors since they were released are they good motors how many recalls have been issued so far

Some (including mine) have a strange tick/knock that shows up after the first oil change when the motor is hot. Ford knows about it, and apparently are looking into it. No recall or anything yet, and as far as I know, its not doing any damage. Just kinda annoying to have a brand new 50K truck sound like a SBC with an exhaust leak. :rolleyes:

Sounds like the normal tick diesels get after oil changes, the Duramax does it. Search typewriter tick. Its normal.

Engine has been out for over 2 years now with zero recalls. There's TSB's about small problems. A few have had big problems, which you can read about here.

I am pretty sure the Turbo is the same in the Duramax... Those have little to no issues.
