One of the reasons the Power Stroke doesn't have emission problems.

Stronger exhaust springs?? To keep the muffler bearings from coming apart or something?
OMG , thanks for the laugh.

I don’t think Ford wants their engine running cooler. Mine runs pretty hot without a load on it. The High output did a little faster up the hill with a 27k trailer than the 2020 regular output Powerstroke did with a 28500 lb trailer. Seems to me the high output is a little disappointing on power.

Chevy:

Misc:

Really surprised Chevy performed so poorly with brake applications as they made some changes to improve exhaust brake performance including stronger exhaust springs and turbo
