I worry about electronics going bad. I was going to buy a Duramax Diesel with an Allison transmission, until one day, on a bulletin board where folks discussed only those engines and transmission, a GMC engineer explained that if the computer on the transmission was not properly upgraded to "talk" to the engine computer, you would get excessive smoke. That did if for an old fart like me who still wishes distributors had points you could set and file. No electronics on reels for this old man.
