Although I like the D-Max , I'm still skeptical of the longevity of an aluminum head on a diesel. There have been million mile International powered Fords and Cummins powered Dodges, but I have yet to hear of a D-Maxx doing that and wonder how they'll hold up for with those heads.
Every diesel Ive seen taken down with aluminum heads always seems to have cracks.
There's a reason big diesels stick with cast iron heads.
