Why not put turbos on 2500 gas trucks
I hear all these great reviews on the Eco-Boost engine and all the power it creates. Somewhere I read a few years back it had more HP and torque then my 2500 HD gas. Why doesn't Ford or Chevy offer ...

Perhaps not using pictures of 10+ year old engines may be worth even more words..... The 6.0 went out of the Ford trucks in 2007. The Duramax and Cummins have also changed a lot in 10 years.
Extremely poor comparison...even below a typical marketing gimmick!
Not only is that image drastically outdated but look at the stroke length differences! Of course the longer connecting rod is significantly beefier. The people who produced that image are idiots.
Think about this:
I have a 8 cylinder engine that puts out 400 HP. (50 HP/ cylinder)Then I have a 1 cylinder that puts out 400 HP. (400 HP/ cylinder)
Which rod do you think is going to have to be bigger? :B
