FOR SURE! KNOCK ON WOOD!
I can tell you though that many of the motor problems on those years are directly related to lack of maintenance of excessive intervals between maintenance. Regular maintenance on fuel filters and oil changes are most important. Many don't understand that a fuel filter can reduce fuel pressure which is critical on a diesel.
