Did you get the 5.0L, V8?

Yes.Â* Didn't think a "truck" and "turbo" went together well.


Thanks, good point! As far as my "uninformed" opinion goes, turbo
translates into "shorter lifespan". This probably doesn't trouble the
manufacturers that much.


Doesn't seem to bother the people who buy 18-wheelers very much
either.


It's hard to compare them.Â* I'm not saying that you couldn't build a
long-lasting turbo engine.Â* Just that pound for pound, the turbo engine
probably ought to weigh more to be competitive, and I'm not sure that's
the case for consumer-grade truck engines.Â* Engines designed for
18-wheelers surely are built to completely different specifications.
Surely, someone must have generated some data by now.


FWIW turbo diesels in 18 wheelers and those in pick up trucks are
entirely different animals.

It is not unusual for an 18 wheeler engine to go 1,000,000 miles and to
be rebuilt a time or two after that.
