What does compounds have to do with the HO cummins? Also are you saying the HO is less than "normal?"
Trucks that make big torque are harder on your drive train, tires and everything else.
While the HO is probably on the lower end of the spectrum compared to a highly modified 5.9 with compounds and big injectors. Plus the running gear components are more robust on the new rigs.
At the end of the day I’m just happy driving something that isn’t chewing everything up. I tow 2-4 hours every weekend and there was a price tag that is associated with big torque numbers.
Abnormal wear on tires, shaft seals that leak prematurely, transmission parts, etc. It’s was punishment. But the comparison is apple to oranges too.
To answer your question. Not very much. But there can be consequences to big torque numbers.
