I bet you 10 bucks I spend less for my 06 brand new then you paid for you 2012 and I also pull in the mountains of kentucky, wva, va,tenn, and planning to going to montana and then down to phoenix thru the rockies with our 13k 5er, lets see your 6.0 do that, it prob would but I would not want to do it and I also towed my entire house hold goods in 05 from MD to MI and the hills on 70 killed that truck with 7-8k behind it. I made that trip 6 times with that trailer loaded and hated it everytime plus getting 9mpg suckedjevanb wrote:
the white smoke was a injector stuck open, and the 6.0 has a prob with EGR coolers leaking into the intake which the steam pops the head gaskets, as for the 6.0 chevy I had one and it towed like a turd, after the first time going up a rather large bridge and I thought the motor was going to come apart from the RPM to maintain 65mph I went out and bought a brand new Dmax
My 2012 6.0 will pull my 8k up any hill I have presented to it in the mountains of west virginia plenty fast enough for me without coming close to the redline.
I have spent considerable time in michigan and think I know what bridge you are talking about. anyways congrats on spending 10k+ to go over a bridge that takes about a minute or less to cross and to tow around an otherwise pancake flat state. Must be nice to have money to spend foolishly.
