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.
OP-
If just comparing the 2001/2002 model year, stock, against stock, the Chevy 8.1L gas engine would out pull the Duramax, Cummins, and the Power Stroke. The trade off being the fuel usage.
I know this to be true as I have compared my 8.1L to all three diesels similarly loaded "back in the day". Of all of us truck pullers from 10~12 years ago I'm the only one who still has his truck. All of my friends have upgraded their diesels.
