Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 5:57 pm) That is your opinion. My defintion of strength also includes robustness and durability. ie: How good is a pro athlete (football player or any other sport where strength is required) if he cannot play the entire game? The 6.0 GM has 6-bolt mains, how many does the Toy have? 2? maybe 4?

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 6:47 pm) Nobody claimed that YOUR particular vehicle isn't reliable. What you claimed earlier was that GM trucks were more reliable than Toyota. Well, I wanted to give you reputable sources that definitely show otherwise. I don't wish for you to have any problems at all with your truck, I hope your experience is a good one. But we as consumers can't just depend on one or two individual accounts -- they vary so much. We have to depend on cumulative information to get an idea of paterns or weaknesses in design. That is all. BTW, CR does not get any PR or money from advertising from anybody. As far as I know, neither does the DMV.

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 6:50 pm) Show me how 6-bolt mains=stronger engine and then ask the question separately or just ask it outright. I don't know how many the Toyota has - I can't find the info. But again, show me a case where less bolts=less "strength".

jreagan, Opinion is subjective. You stated that hp/torque being equal to strength is MY opinion! Please!! Show me one automotive web site that claims this... just one! I want to see that more hp/torque does not make the vehicle "stronger". Please... you not accepting that is YOUR opinion, not everybody else's...

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 6:59 pm) Common sense, at least for an ME. Just look back over the years, the high HP engines and big blocks all had 4 bolt mains and smaller, less hp, lower perf engines used 2 bolt mains. The crank sees ALOT of forces and the main bearings have to support these forces. The better the structure around them, the stronger the engine. |
