The transmissions go because of heat build up because of lack of volume going through the cooler not from the torque. When was the last time you seen a diesel motors bottom end wear out with low miles on it because of friction? Ask me the same about a high revving gas motor.;) The high EGTs come from the amount of BTU's being put out per cycle and yes, if you use a longer lug wrench to move the lug nut at the same speed you going to tire much much quicker to do the same work in the same time frame.
I supposed the 5th gear nut problem with the NV4500 behind the Cummins was due to heat? No, it was due to the hammering torque of the Cummins. I had one.
I've never seen any engine wear out with low miles as long as it's properly maintained. It would do no good to ask you anything. You speculate based on emotion. No facts whatsoever.
Higher rpm will result in lower EGT. Those of you afraid to do the right thing with your engines will never know.
You've obviously never used a wrench.:S
