While the 8.1/Allison was a great combo, they stopped making those trucks in 2007 and then only had them out for 6 years. If you remember, fuel was at an all time high in this era and diesel was selling more than ever. Point is, as much as it is one of the better gas options, best case IF you can find a clean low mile truck...its 10 years old already.
A better gas option is a Ford V10 having similar numbers in power you can find a newer truck. But the 6.2 ford offers and the 6.4 ram offers today have as much or more power with the side benefit of better economy and can be had in a new truck.
The 8.1 was good but it's old and not many were sold.
