[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1628961, member: 9096"] I don't see the need for steel pistons in these trucks.. lots of 1000+ HP trucks using aluminum pistons.. if you have EGT controls and a decent cooling system it works fine.. Why put such a piston and in all likelihood leave the rods that are a weak point over 600hp? Yeah, they all have their weak points for sure.. I just find doing any work to the inline 6 is much easier than these new cab-over V8s that pretty much require cab lifting for anything you want to do [/QUOTE]
