Slow turning truck engines will also last longer than small gas
engines. But who wants a two seat car with a 3000 lb engine? The small
turbo can be re-cartridged for less than the seal kit on a heavy truck
unit. In fact a car turbo will usually go the overhaul life of the
engine whereas heavy truck engines will go through a couple before the
engine comes out.
And experience shows professional drivers DO NOT know how to read a
"pyro" or EGT gauge. Besides most LTL and company sleeper cab trucks do
not have one. They don't even put trailer brake hand valves ("johnny
bars") on them anymore. Go look in the cab of any Swift, JB Hunt,
Schneider, CFI or other major carrier's truck. And most OOs buy _their_
used trucks now-they don't have them either. Only independently wealthy
spoiled bull haulers have the pimp wagon trucks with dashes like a 727
F/E panel anymore.

Re: OT: engines
You just told me you don't even know one truck driver, that
transports eighty thousand pounds. Nor driven a road like I-15 east of
Baker where it is against the law for passenger cars to enter the truck
lanes.

Re: OT: engines
Yup, number 1 cause of failure on the turbo Corsa Corvair, running it
hot and failing to cool it down.

I know a LOT of truck drivers and trucking company employees. You need
to get out of Fantasyland and see how it's done in the Midwest, in
fact, everywhere else.
Driving trucks in California is nuts. Driving them in New York is bad
enough, but California is ten times worse. That's why California
truckers all suffer brain damage after a short period of time. JB Hunt,
and all the other big TL carriers won't recruit California drivers
anymore. They are all like you, Bill, although admittedly few are quite
as advanced.
