In my quest for knowledge and lust for a 12H-T, I'm learning that these motors can go for several hundred thousand kilometers before being considered "high" mileage.

Forgive me, I'm a complete diesel newbie (but learning more each day) and in searching this forum for info on the 12H-T, I've come across a few posts that claim this particular diesel motor is awful to drive off-road. Although I waded through 9 p...

O.K., here's a collective head scratcher I could use a little help with. The '60 is not passing emissions but just barely not passing. It's FAILING by 2% for CO on the high speed (2500 RPM) test. It is PASSING beautifully on all other components ...
