As for the 6.0 and 6.4, just from what i've heard, it sounds alot like the LB7 Duramax stories. Either you couldn't keep in out of the shop, or it never went. It seems that there has been no rhyme or reason as to why serial # xxx-xxx1 ran great, and xxx-xxx2 was a terminal patient????
As with GM/Isuzu, I'm sure that Navistar would have gotten it figured out eventually. Its just taht the customer is the one who suffers in the mean time. Now, when the 6.4 is as close as its probably ever been, Ford is going out a whole new door. So, I suspect they have just reset the learning curve to zero and customers of the Scorpion will be the unwilling field test engines for sometime.
