The Power Wafer make a great tow rig. 4.1s or 4.56s. Need to slap some extra springs in the back, but the 456s make up a lot for the poor gear splits.
They doo call them 6.4s though because that’s what the fuel mileage gauge goes to once the trailer hitch is locked to the truck.
Kind of of topic but pertinent. The newer GM 6.0 HDs are POOCHES!!
Always thought it was because theones I drove were old and ragged out 4 speeds.
Just towed with a new 6.0 2500 with 4.10s.
4500lb trailer with about 7klbs of steel on it. On a mild grade too (snoq Pass). My 2016 5.3 1500 will out pull that 6.0. No questions asked. 2500 has more chassis of course, but dayum......I was not expecting that.
That surprises me. I have had a two 6.0 HD's and routinely ran 30k combined with both of them. The 2011 had 3.73's the 15 was 4.10's. I was surprised and happy with the performance. The 15 was better than the 3.73's at that weight. I live about 2K feet above the elevation Snoqualmie and our passes go up from there. The mpg was not good, and it would scream up the hills but I was satisfied with the performance of the 6.0's.
