Torque Index, a parts-and-failure atlas for American trucks
A machine-readable reference covering truck configurations, parts, failure modes, and sourced reliability facts.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the reference by engine platform, with cards for configurations, failure modes, parts, and recipes rather than a general automotive search box. It identifies public records, re-verified NHTSA complaints and recalls, OEM catalogs, and dealer price snapshots as source material, and says each record carries a reliability tier plus provenance and confidence. The stated ODbL license and schema.org JSON-LD make the project legible both to human readers and downstream software.
