    Actually, there is a new metal coming to market. Better than Titanium.

    I heard that metal is a synthesis of vibranium and adamantium mixed to form it. Must be some tough as nails chit. I wouldn't want those in my engine though because then it would move the failure weak point to the pistons themselves and that could be really bad news for the block when one shoots out of it. :eek:

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    simply genius!

    how do we simpletons live without this feature? Every time I park my truck I worry about my crank getting yanked.

    There is typically an anti theft device pin inserted into the crank to prevent theft even from the most seasoned thief. You are good to go on both counts. :D

    Oh yeah! The pin that holds the piston to the piston rod will not only prevent the crank shaft from being stolen, It will keep your piston return spring safe too since everyone seems to want them.

    With the nuts on top and the pins in, your engine will be locked up like a Chinese puzzle box. :D

    This is your problem. Just tune it to 1.21 gigawatts. Test it by accelerating to 88mph. Keep any eye out for Lebanese terrorists. Dont make out with anyone you may suspect is your mom...

    Depending on which part of the country you live in, this could prove difficult.
