Re the Ford 6.8, were there improvements to the engine in 2005 that make it more desirable?
Re the Chev / GMC 8.1, is that a worse gas hog than the Chev 6.0 and the Ford 6.8?
Thanks for all the great responses, everyone!
8.1 is no worse....probably a bit better than the 6.0 because it doesn't have to work as hard.
I've had both an 8.1 (in a Suburban 2500) and a 6.8 F350. Not really apples to apples because the 'Burb had 4.10 gearing and the F350 had 3.73.
Preferred the 8.1, but both did great jobs pulling 7500lbs plus family of 5 and associated 'stuff'.
