It is simple to explain why they last that long. A diesel engine makes 1000 to 2000 rev's per minute less than a comparable gasser.
Less revolution's= less wear= longer life.
The injection pump maybe won't last that long...

depends on the yr of the dmax, ive heard the early ones having less life expectancy then the later ones, that was in petersons 4wheel drive a few months back. I cant remember the exact reason but it was something to do with the aluminum heads.

Don't get me wrong, the Cummins engine doesn't walk on water or anything like that, but out of the big 3, the 5.9L is the toughest setup.
I've always wanted a OBS Ford truck with a Cummins and Allision trans... other than the Ford needs a football field to turn around I think that would be an awesome setup!
