6.7 longevity
What is the take on the 6.7 having married cylinders? I'm not a big fan, has to cause expansion problems. Yes I know that it shares the 350,000 mile service with the 5.9, just looking for opinions.

Married cylinders actually make the block a lot stronger. Big bore gasser's have run them for years. As for cooling, we will see how they do.
