2012 with 45000
2 sets of heads in the first year...so lifetime warranty, but that was within the first year. Since evap leak and now an ABS light, waiting for an ABS capable reader to arrive tomorrow. Oh...biggest issue was POS lug studs. 4 broke with obvious defects in the cast so I replaced them all.

Thought I would post an update. I always liked this type of thread. Its very interesting to see how many miles these things will go and what problems if any other people have encountered. My 2011 is just over 122,000 now and still going strong. Nothing major to speak of...other than routine maintenance!

2010 w/124,000 miles.
No major problems. It has always used 1qt per 2000-2500 miles. Recently replaced oil pan gasket. Valve cover gaskets may be next. EGR valve went at 60K, and may need to be replaced again soon. It seems happy with Pennzoil 10w30 high mileage.
It ain't pretty or quick, but it keeps going.
