Are the liners and engine differant on a 2018 versus my 2009? I'm basing my facts on all the newer trucks all have tall gears and get way better fuel millage than my 2009.
Please explain.

no, they are not.. that complete bullsH$it that you have been fed about taller rears and better fuel mileage comes from the idiots who do not know how to properly drive a truck. Here is an explanation of this...

=====================
These newer trucks that are geared way too tall,.. they get better fuel mileage, directly at the expense of engine life. Not because the gearing is any better,.. it is much WORSE... but because when an engine is running in low rpm ranges (because it is geared too tall),.. it is COMPLETELY UNABLE TO MAKE FULL POWER OUTPUT! - and therefore is exactly the equivalent as someone who is geared lower, but stays off the pedal, and only allow their engine to only make that limited power as well. -- it is the mega-fleets latest bean-counter way of making the engine limit its power output production, while the idiot driver holds the pedal all they way to the floor all day long.


I.E.> gear it too tall, so that full engine power cannot be produce,. saving fuel at the direct expense of engine life -- OR,.. Gear it right (BASED ON PROPER LOAD APPLICATION) and learn to control/limit your engine's power just like the "geared too tall trucks" and get the same, or better fuel saving by learning to use your right foot better, and driving by your boost and pyro gauges.

-- Take even a 600HP, 2050 torque engine for example. If someone gears it tall, like 3.27's or some other ridiculously tall garbage then limits its rpm range to 1500 and below with gear-down protection + it can only go about 68 mph on a governor... then its average HP output for the engine is only 440HP to the tires when loaded heavy ... EVEN WITH a full 2050 torque. - As soon as you put a load on it and then try to go up a hill.. it falls on its face and that high torque beats the liners out of the engine 2x faster than normal.. cutting the engine life in half. - BECAUSE YOU HAVE ARTIFICIALLY LOWERED THE AVERAGE HORSEPOWER TO ABOUT 435 OR SO WHEN PULLING HILLS AND THIS IN TURN SAVES FUEL NO MATER HOW HARD THE TRUCK DRIVER SMASHES THE PEDAL DOWN >>>> BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO MAKE A SUSTAINED FULL POWER!. -> ALL AT THE DIRECT EXPENSE OF THE ENGINE LIFE DUE TO LUGGING IT BELOW 1500!.

ANY VEHICLE THAT YOU GEAR HORRIBLY .. THAT CAN NO LONGER PRODUCE PROPER HORSEPOWER.. WILL HAVE BETTER FUEL ECONOMY BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE ITS FULL POWER IN A SUSTAINED FASHION!... AND THE TRUCK OWNER COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME THAT IT FEELS WEAK!. -- AND IT IS ALWAYS AT THE COST OF ENGINE LIFESPAN WHEN YOU DO THIS!. THAT IS WHY THESE FLEET TRUCKS GEARED TOO TALL ALWAYS NEED AN IN-FRAME IN HALF THE EXPECTED TIME THEY SHOULD LAST!.

GEAR IT CORRECTLY.. SO THAT IT DOES NOT EAT THE ENGINE UP.. AND IT MATCHES THE LOADS AND APPLICATION.. AND THEN KEEP YOUR GODDAMN RIGHT FOOT OUT OF IT AND IT IS ACTUALLY FAR MORE EFFICIENT THAN THIS HORRIBLE LUGGING IDEAS... AND YOU DON'T EAT THE ENGINES GUTS OUT 2X FASTER ANY MORE!.. ITS CALLED DRIVING IT RIGHT VS SOME COMPLETE DUMBARSSE THAT HAS VERY POOR CONTROL ON HOW TO DRIVE A HEAVY TRUCK PROPERLY and holds the pedal all they way to the floor all day long.

THESE MEGA-FLEETS FIGURED OUT HOW TO LIMIT THEIR DRIVERS RIGHT FOOT BY GEARING IT WAY TOO TALL.. AND THAT SAVES THEM FUEL AT THE DIRECT EXPENSE OF ENGINE LIFE... AND THEY COULD GIVE A DAMN ABOUT LONGEVITY BECAUSE THEY GET RID OF THE TRUCK BEFORE IT BLOWS IT =S GUTS OUT.. LEAVING THAT PROBLEM TO THE NEXT POOR BAS#TARD THAT BUYS IT USED!.

SO YEAH.. SOMEONE HAS BEEN DRINKING THE COOL=-AIDE ON THAT ONE, JUST LIKE THE IDIOTS OVER ON SOCIAL MEDAI AND THE OTHER WEBSITES .. AND LIKE AN IDIOT, BELIEVES THE GARBAGE OUT THERE ABOUT TALLER REARS BEING ACTUALLY MORE FUEL EFFICIENT WHEN COMPARED TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE A TRUCK PROPERLY, IN THE CORRECT RPM AND GEARING RANGES, ETC... AND JUST LEAVES THEIR FOOT IN THE DAMN FLOOR ALL DAY LONG .. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!.


SO FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO CLAIM THEY GOT BETTER FUEL MILEAGE OUT OF A TALLER-GEARED TRUCK.. IS THE SAME PEOPLE WHO DON;T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL THEIR RIGHT FOOT,.. AND THEY ARE SIMPLY LETTING THAT LIMITED HP AND TERRIBLE GEAR RANGE MAKE UP FOR THIS FACT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT RIGHT.. OR ARE TOO GODDAMN LAZY TO PROPERLY SHIFT WHEN NEEDED!.
