there are different kinds of strong depending on what you want from the truck. with the high levels of available torque and possibility of high traction high loads situations(i.e. Ryan recklessly attaches his truck to pulling sled...) it is possible to walk the gears in a 205 and since they are cast iron, the case gives a bow and takes a hike. the more modern aluminum cased, chain drive cases handle the torque better in those circumstances. with that kind of power potential and a suspension that gives no slack, it could make the 205 open its guts to the daylight. for a normal truck i would never fear the 205. they have been ruthlessly beaten for years and they seem to always work.
i didnt realize how hot rod you went on that rh. thatll be fun to drive
