The 1/2 ton won't have the equipment or design to support the duty cycle of the heavier class trucks.
It's like that cheap Hazard Fraught Mig welder for $80.00, sure it's much cheaper than a name brand welder but with a 20% duty cycle either you sit on your butt for 8 out of every 10 minuets or the thing overheats and shuts off.

A tune may not degrade the life of the motor but you can bet it will degrade the transmission. Most tunes get rid of all the torque management nannies the factory program in.

So the idea is to have less HP and Torque and fewer speeds in the tranny, with a engine with more cubes, in a truck designed to haul more payload and pull a heavier trailer, than a lesser truck, is a good thing? That sure isn't the reason I have a Duramax in my truck.

2019 Silverado 1500 offers a 6.2 with 420 HP and 460 lbs-ft of torque and 10 spd trans. The 2020 Silverado 2500 rumored to offer a 6.6 with 400 HP and 450 lbs-ft of torque and 6 spd trans. Shouldn't it be the other way around for these gas engines?
