Hi Everyone- well Ive read a ton on the whole gasser vs diesel..learned a lot. I love this site..... :-) My TV now is a Chevy PU 1/2 ton 2000 Z71 Ex.Cab- 5.3, 3.73, w/113k miles. Im towing a Sunset Creek 5ver, 6607#. The truck runs great- the hills are tough though and we bog down to 25-35mph. Im considering getting a 1 ton 6.0. Am I understanding the info correctly- that the difference between Chevys 5.3 and the 6.0 will be minimal?? Im eyeballing the diesel but the $$$ is killing me. I tow weekends thru May-Oct in the summer here in Maine. I just need the extra power on the darn hills. Hate to go for the 6.0 ( w/ 4.1) and be disappointed. Thanks for such a great site !!
