Anybody towing with a late model gasser?

I'm sorry to hear sacmarata owns a 6.0 gas truck that won't get out of it's own way. I can pull 10k+ of whatever with my 2500 gasser at whatever speed I choose and it doesn't take me long to get to that speed either.
In some regards his arguments sound like the old "mine is better than yours because..." I used to hear in the high school parking lot 30 years ago. My area of the world is full of 6.0 gms pulling horse/cattle trucks, grain wagons etc, with the driver's window down, one arm out the window and one on the wheel. I think the magnifying glass is getting a little too big on this topic.

so, I quote a University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute published article and it's a school yard p!$$!ing match to you?

In my part of the world the guys hanging their arms out of their gasser hauling 7,000lbs+ regularly, change their trucks like they change their socks.

My point isn't that mine is better than yours. My point is mine is better than mine. I own both. A 6.0 gasser and a 5.9 diesel. With less displacement and cheaper mods the diesel so outperforms the gasser that it's laughable. Whats more laughable is that someone will go out and spend $40,000 to buy a gas truck to compete with a 4 speed 20 year old diesel with free mods. If the diesel had a shorter rear end it would lights out, but I use it as a daily driver in the winter and like the taller gearing and fuel mileage.
