That’s heresy! That’s as bad as Briggs and Stratton making engines with plastic camshaft and gear for a while. I’ve got B&S’ from the 40’s that are actually designed with up to... I’d estimate a dozen+ overhauls. You can hone and re-ring them a few times before going to oversize piston and there’s 3 oversizes after the original. My 1942 model B is on its first oversize and that’s after serving in WWII and then getting surplused to an Oregon logging operation up to the 70’s or so...
Those things well cared for were literally generational machines. I’ll grant that there is still some of that out there, but a portion of that appears to be depending on consumers actively not caring for the device. I’m 9,000 miles away from 600,000 on my 2011 Silverado, I think I’ve seen 1 other person in the last decade check their oil while getting gas 🤣
It’s one of them aluminum trucks with the midget turbocharged V-6 that is saving the planet by getting better mileage. It gets around 24 mpg. I have two - one with 60,000 and one with 100,000. No problems yet with the 10 speed transmission or turbo.
