Another poster expressed his dissatisfaction earlier in this thread with the 6.0, and the first thing I looked at was what year... yep, newer than 2007, after the 4.10 rear ratio was no longer available.
Um, no. He is used to more torque at 2000rpm from an 8.1L than the 6.0L has. He doesn't like that it downshifts from 5th to 4th on hills at hits 3000rpm.
I'll take a 2008+ 6-spd 3.73 over any small block with 4-spd and 4.10 gearing. It will out accelerate an 8.1L. It will just require WOT at 3000-5500rpm. Do you understand gear multiplication?
