Duramax reliability

I rode in a 2005 Duramax today with the Edge monitor and box, and I have to say that I was very impressed. That truck ran awesome. I know that there have been a few Cummins go over a million mostly trouble free miles, and I know a guy with 325,000 on his 94 that has been pulled for many years (I'm sure some of you know Keith). I was wondering what problems they have with the Dmaxes, and if anyone has put some serious miles on one yet? I wonder how long one would hold up in the long run if it is turned up?
