I haven't heard anything about the rods (what are Powdered Metal
rods...?).

The main issues I've heard about (from a PowerStroke Group at Yahoo)
are leaking fuel injectors - allows diesel fuel to contaminate the
engine oil) and ECU 'upgrades' that aren't - the Direct Injection 7.3L
& 6.0L are computer controlled diesels.
