You guys should look up the connecting rod comparison pic (Cummins vs. Powerstroke vs. Duramax) that has floated all over the internet. It's hilarious.

thats because the original ISB (12 valve) engines were designed for up to 66,000 Lbs. of gross vehicle weight!

The Cummins has much bigger pistons, and thus needs bigger connecting rods... It also has the lowest redline you will ever see...

Ford Sucks, Chevy sucks, GMC (frown),Nissan is a good ass truck too! Toyota ROCKS! Get a Tundra Full size extended cab! You'll want every passenger to say" Get IN"! Best Horsepower in its CLASS! Japanese makes long lasting engines!

Most american cars do not last up to 200,000 MILES! everything just breaks!

You see them old corolla still running around at 300,000 miles!! hahaha! thats crazy! ESP the 1986 Corolla (Trueno) Japan's finest drift car!

Dude pull your head out. Since when did Nissan or Toyota start making diesel trucks? I have seen loads of US made vehicles with well over 200k on them. Nash's old truck was close to 200k when I sold it and that damn thing still drove awesome and looked great. I miss it :(

I don't have a link or anything, but a few guys at lunch today were talking about some guy that had a 91/92 chevy 1500 that just turned over a million miles. I wish I had more info on that, but appearantly it still had the original engine and transmission.

91 Chevy- "The truck has had four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps, but the engine has never been overhauled, Oresnik said."

My dad had a Tahoe and I liked it when it wasnt broken. Had way too many issues.

I heard that Chevy is trying to buy it from him once it rolls over 1mil. so they can study it.

It would be cool to see what condition the cyllinder walls, bearings, and rings are in after that many miles.
