You also have to remember that a lot of German engineering is overdone
to
the extent that some things get overly complex to its detriment.

As seen in WWII- the overengineering and overdiversification of small
arms
design by the Germans caused logistical and training problems as well as
preventing enough production of one design to make a significant impact.
The
European theater would have been different if the Germans had widespread
use
of weapons like the MP44 rather than KAR98K Mauser bolt-actions.

The same is seen in the hydraulic system of the type 44s- why did they
choose
a 150 bar hydraulic system for brake and steering assist when separate
hydraulic
steering assist and vacuum brake assist have been proven systems way
before the
type 44 was even designed? It's funny that they abandoned this system
after the
C4 chassis.

I'd like to hear if anyone has had experience w/ the Bilstein engine
flush
service- I had it done to my old Pathfinder w/ no noticeable difference,
but
that truck was immaculately maintained by yours truly anyway.
