nothing at all. they are saving the planet by driving an electric car. .....
the fact they have to charge it with a dirty polluting generator is not a problem.

You fellas might want to get a kick out of that. California is always sucking energy out of Nevada and this is the place that wants  all electric cars by 2030 get this our new governor just told California to pound sand and find thier own  energy.

Yeah the 5.9 is pretty much bulletproof.

Pretty much everything except for the "killer dowel pin". Its a real thing. A place I used to work at a long time ago had the exact same setup truck. 12V 5.9 with a Spicer 7 speed. That stupid dowel pin wiped out the timing gears and the front of the engine. It had less than 50k miles on it. I think it was still worth enough to them they put a reman engine in the truck. I would pull your timing cover and see if yours has been addressed already and if not fix it. Its a very easy job and like a $50 part.
