Yep, they sent most of the d5s back.
Did that actually happen?
Yes. One went back with a demand that the old D4 was returned.
Had to be bought, but back it came.

Are the V6 Diesel engines in the D5 immune from crank snapping? I thought that the earlier ones were just a single turbo version of what had been used in the D4.
Nope. Same internals as the Gen 1 3.0, and the same engine as in the L405/494 which are still snapping cranks for fun My D3 Build Thread
