ok, time for me to chime in.  Quite a few yearsago, The General (GM) took a 
turbine from their allison division and stuck them in a few trucks AND 
busses.  For some odd reason, GM didn't think that this would be a popular 
set up with customers, not to mention that the trucks (especially with a full 
load) would constantly pick the front tires off of the ground and from time 
to time, snap off bolts.  This was the reason that was told to us at an 
allison training class years ago.
