It's tough to say on that one, I have purchased many V2203 from reefer trailers and the majority have issues come 15,000hrs or so.

Just because the meter shows those hours, does not mean the motor was never replaced during that time. The hour meter would not show this.

We are both very well aware that it probably is not the original engine.

PS : Kubota never built a V2203 motor, only V2203 engine.
