Since I know nothing, I’ll jump in here.
The common rail engines are very reliable from what I’ve learned provided you provide them with clean fuel and clean electrical power.
I ended up replacing an engine due to my ignorance of the later. In short, keep your engine start battery pretty isolated from any outside interference and you will be fine.
My power requirements are a lot less than yours, but I’d sooner get rid of my turbo-charger than I would the electronically controlled engine.
Again, I know nothing and my experience is limited (outside of the small diesels in my sailboats) to the two Cummins 5.9L QSB engines that I’ve owned. Notice that is two engines that I’ve owned in my one single engine boat.
Dave, I'm not following you. What happened?
