By my sig, i pull with a 2002 8.1.....Its specs are roughly 340HP and 455 lb ft of torque. If a guy were to opt for a 2000-2002 Cummins, approx the same specs, does a Diesel pull any easier. Just a thought.
I realize they tow at a much lower RPM.
Thanks. Just curious.
You'll use more fuel and RPM to do it,but an 8.1 will run circles around a CTD of that era.
I really doubt that.
Doubt it if you want but that big block would smoke the oil burner of those years. The big block has more than a 1/3 more HP. Would not even be close.
