Hot Rod Information
Hot rods are typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear. One explanation is that the term is a contraction of "hot roadster," meaning a roadster that was modified for speed. Another possible origin includes modifications to or replacement of the camshaft(s), sometimes known as a "stick" or "rod". A camshaft designed to produce more power is sometimes call a "hot stick" or, here, a "hot rod". Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light. The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been "hopped up" by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance. The term can also apply to other items that are "souped up" for a particular purpose, such as "hot-rodded amplifier". From Wikipedia under the

Q. My truck ( 98 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L V8 ) just passed 190,000 miles and I am trying to keep it running as long as I can. I am curious as to why an engine will "throw a rod" and I am not sure how, I have read that fixing this can be extremely expensive if it hasn't already put a hole threw the side of the block. This has not happened to me but is there anything that I can do that will help prevent this from happening?
