Man I wish I had time to respond to all of this. The market is FINALLY getting it most of the way right, and you want something else.

What do you want? A 6 liter diesel making 1000 ft-lbs of torque in a half ton truck with 7 tons of towing capacity and a 10 speed transmission that runs 12's and gets 40mpg?

It would have to be made out of aluminum, and would spit chunks all over the highway at MAYBE 10,000 miles, and would cost 150k dollars, and they'd sell 10 of them.
