I know they’ve gotten more compact, but the 8.3L in our L8000 with it’s transmission probably weighs as much as a pickup.

Holy shit I thought the 6.6 in my 2500 was huge, but imagine how much the block would weigh on an 8.3L. I mean at some point your front suspension gets absolutely crazy. Would be smart if they could make it a straight six though instead of a V8, way better balance characteristics and that’s why many of the big diesels have that layout.

Packaging, that’s a big V8 already to fit under the hood. Tracktor trailers have big big long hoods
