[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1683541, member: 26138"] It is not really doing less work, just kept in the RPM range where it is most efficient. Heavy duty trucks have a very narrow power band, thus many gears to keep the engine from lugging or over revving. I am still of the opinion that a V8 is the way to go for full size trucks. A 4 cylinder is going to be under much more stress than the comparable V8 while producing the same amount of power, so durability is going to suffer. [/QUOTE]
