How many motors can you smash the gas pedle to the floor and bounce the rev meter only 1000 rpm shy of redline for literally hours at a time, and not only not have it blow up, but have it return a reasonable gas mileage and still keep on ticking for many, many more years to come. I know mine can.

I'm not really sure that is a great selling point Brian, sure they are strong but if I am redlining my motor I would hope that the truck is accelerating, not just maintaining road speed.
