It depends, in terms of design and efficiency combined with their ability to burn a wide range of fuels it's an outstanding design. They do have their faults though, as you said the fuel system and just a plague of less sophisticated metals and materials that made for an engine more prone to...

Thats what I'm gonna do from now on. Its just hard getting adjusted to how sloppy these trucks are at first. I don't mind a leak or a small noise here and there, my Benz 300D actually leaks more oil than the truck does, it's just as I said I couldn't help but be concerned after all that money...
