( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In today's episode, Andre is joined by Kase—fresh off his wedding—to dive headfirst into the "upsizing" rumors taking the heavy-duty truck world by storm. While the rest of the industry is downsizing to turbo-fours and V6s, whispers of 8.3L Duramax, 8.0L PowerStroke, and 7.2L Cummins engines have enthusiasts wondering if we're entering a new era of massive displacement. The guys break down the engineering logic behind larger engines for towing, the reality of "fake news" in the automotive space, and why a bigger engine might actually be the key to better efficiency when pulling maximum loads up the Ike Gauntlet.

The conversation shifts from rumors to reality as they discuss the newly debuted 6.7L Small Block V8 in the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. With 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, this "LS6" (a name returning from the archives) serves as the foundation for the next generation of GM truck engines. Andre and Kase also answer listener questions about the future of the Toyota Tundra, the high cost of specialized Jeep Gladiators, and why heavy-duty Ford owners are still waiting for a "4-Auto" transfer case. From particulate filters on Ford EcoBoosts to the "perfect" truck engine, this episode covers the specialized gear and displacement shifts defining the future of trucking.
