yes.. my experience IS very different from yours.. BECAUSE OF BAD DELETES CAUSING DROPPED VALVES AND OTHER COMMONLY SEEN PRE-MATURE ENGINE FAILURES!!!.. THAT IS WHY!!!... Don;t blame it on the engine.. blame it on the ignorance and abuse they suffer at such horrible engine killing garbage that is typically seen done to them.

That is why I don't see what you see.. I don't hang around engines and trucks that are abused badly like this.
