1997 Sierra 1500HD 6.5L diesel... a POS but fairly simple to work on.  Just making a point on how accessible working under the hood used to be compared to now.

For some reason I didn't think of a diesel

Whaddaya mean, that Detroit diesel was great at turning diesel fuel into smell and heat...power not so much

I was probably closer to a coal train than a  diesel truck.   Probably killed a beluga every cold starts.  its was good on fuel,  I could get it to 10L/100km.

Why are we ok with turbos with a diesel engine but not gas engine?

I'm ok with a turbo engine on anything.  i'll put one on  my lawn mower if I can.  just not ok when they crap out and have to pay to lift the cab to replace them.....That is assuming I would actually own one in the future...... or some alternate parallel universe......

Because on a 6BT Cummins, they are a many hundreds of thousands of kms without problems. On anything else with a petrol engine, they are a time bomb. Sure, on a project car thats a fun weekend ride, sure, on something I'm driving in traffic

I've never had problems with actual turbos, just the manifolds leading to them cracking or breaking studs.   Turbo temperatures are much higher on gas engines than diesels.

the Hyundai 2.0 turbo seam to be holding pretty good.

Not at all from what I see. Many a dead 2.0 Hyundai’s.

I also had a growly old 6.5. First injector pump I ever did myself. That thing ran pretty good after that job. Got wicked fuel economy too. Just could not tow with it, as soon as that truck saw a hill it would start heating up. Terrible. I was into it for a radiator, water pump, fan, and still had issues with running warm towing. Someone said that just how they run. In my world that’s a great way to thunder an engine.

Back to the Tundras. Talked to a Toyota sales manager today. They’ve sold 23 so far and none have come back. Everyone is happy. He’s heard of some transmission issues though. He also said he’s keeping his 21 V8 model lol.

The wastegate issue was indeed an early issue.

Lexus has been running a version of this engine for some time with few issues.

Isn't the remote start subscription based because there is a cost associated with having the vehicle communicate via cell phone towers? I assume remote start in these things is via an app on your phone.

KEY FOB.  It's cellular based, but I can't tell which kind (5g satellite  ) The very early unit I had for a few days, the remote start did not work because the over the air connection did not work even for the Dealer.  It's amazing that no one seemed to know the tech behind it.

Remote start: $10 CAD, Nav bundles with some other crap: $20 CAD plus HST, all subject to inflation.

Me thinks Toyota will drop this because the average Tundra crewcab, no awd, just 4wd, will be about $85K tax in (Ontario) and then customers are expected to pay Toyota an additional $360 annually.  Don't think so.

That doesn't really explain why though.
