At this point, the ecoboost has basically proven itself. Most of their problems were early on, not with the engine, but the transmission pump, based on what I could find on google. Secondly, your comparsion link is written by Dodge. Some of the information(on the diesel engine) is based on the fact that they didn"t test the latest engine, and a win is basically assumed. They mention the 5.0L at the beginning of the comparsions but then only compare the 3.5 and 5.7. 5.0 must not have done that bad. Look at the torque curves for the Eco-Boost.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
