So, what's this, I hear about Ford using steel pistons in their 2020+ diesels? I haven't read up on how Ford has been doing for a while and was doing a little research to brush up on their emissions system to help a cousin with his and ran across an article stating they've been using steel pistons since 2020.

I want steel pistons for the Duramax. Come on GM, get with the times. Aluminum is so last year 🤣

The newer 3.0 Duramax used in the half ton pickups uses steel pistons also. It would be nice if they carried that technology over to the bigger engines as well.

Here we go again. Another "atmospheric river" driving California crazy. Supposed to be a week of rain for us. It's all I hear about when I turn on the news.

When did this "atmospheric river" terminology become the new popular buzz word?
