I had a 04 6.slow 2500HD gas and it was terrible towing anything over 5k in the hills even with the 4.10
I am thinking of trading my 6.0 3/4 for a 3/4 diesel... I get 8 mpg towing a 10500 lb fiver. Looking for someone who tows a similar rig with a diesel to see if the upgrade can be justified.
Understand there is no comparison on power but it still comes down to economics
