There's a lot of people out here in the real world that don't write books or spend a lot of their time promoting themselves on websites. That doesn't mean they aren't just as "expert" as the writers.
To say many or most modern diesels go bang at 600 hours...well let's just say that's ridiculous...
Here is one of his statements that should be in CAPs..
"....but you have to understand that the AVERAGE includes high performance diesels, as well as those folks who do not maintain their engines at all; the ones who run them until they stop."
Boy...I wish could make a living at stating the obvious...unfortunately I'm not such a great/prolific writer.
Touring engine shops for repair statistics is like touring hospitals for the healyhy vs sick...how about fitness centers instead?
I know a boatload of charter sportfishemen who would laugh at that 1100 hour average...they would be out of business if they planned for major rebuilds that often...so would most any commercial operator...and there may be the difference...the way engines are run and maintained...not who makes them or what rpm they are designed to run at.
