So we're back to HP and tQ on Gassers vs diesels eh...verrrry interesting. LOl I thought this thread had died and gone to heaven..
Just as an FYI: I have a Banks 6Gun PDA for sale if anyone is interested.. :D Going with EFI LIve.
I drove a cpl of yrs in the BC Mountains, specifically South Eastern BC..Sparwood West. I can tell ya that a diesel, stock or other wise is what you want to have pulling any kind of hardwall trailer there. 35-40km 8%+ grades in 35-40C heat not to mention pretty high altitudes. And as for Rpm..1800-2000, EGTs in the 1100-1200's and literally blow by any 1/2 ton pullin I dont care what. The part I do like is simply this. I avg at 110 km/hr - 19.5mpg(US) (not towing of course), and thats on the cookie cutter 245's I use in winter..in summer on 265's it goes up to about 20 on my DIC and that is without adjusting my ECM for tire difference. I dont think there is a big block gasser with that kind of mileage built.
Give me an LBZ anyday of the week.!
cheers...C ya next yr.
