They're talking about not whether things will be fine within the warranty. But what about after the warranty...say 120,000 miles or so...7 years on the truck.

As a result they went with the Ford V8. Another reason...there's nothing quite like the exhaust note of a V8. Both of them are hot rodders and many hot rodders like V8 power.
