    I hope history proves me wrong about an overstressed turbocharged 4 cylinder pushing that much truck around.

      As I’ve learned about engines by being involved with rebuilding hundreds of them, I’ve learned that most people have very little understanding of what kills them.

      Without seeing inside this engine, statements like this are just… ignorant.

      Is it over stressed? It’s making 278hp from a 2.4L engine.

      Mercedes is pushing 416 from less displacement with a 2.0L engine.

        To be fair, Mercedes is hardly the cornerstone of reliability. But yeah, I’d say you’re right on the money.

        That’s why the 4.0 V6 was the superior truck engine. Made its torque lower in the powerband. Lots of these engines make it to 300k easily.

        Not sure why I’m being downvoted for saying that I hope I’m wrong about this turbo 4. 😂
