Rumor even has it that a Tundra was sent to rescue the remaining herd, but started accelerating unintentionally and was never seen again.
Only partially correct: ;) Folks should understand that a Tundra was used to launch the Ark; and while they were doing shakedown tests on the Ark, the Tundra was sent looking for the missing herd. The Tundra never found the herd and was left behind when, in the last safety test completed ahead of schedule, the Ark sailed 3 days early.
Unfortunately, Methusaleh, who was the Jobsite Supervisor for the launch the Ark project, didn't live quite long enough to see them steal his idea and have the Tundra pull the Space Shuttle. Y'all thought the Rosetta stone was Biblical? Not really.....it was rigging instructions for the Tundra..thousands of years later, steel cables were substituted for papyrus ropes and voila! the Shuttle moves.
FWIW, I owned 2 F350's with 6.0 (2004) and put circa 120,000 miles between them (1 was stolen and I sold the other with my RV). I also have circa 25,000 miles on my snowplow rig with the 6.7. Not a bit of problem with any of those nor with my 2009 Duramax.
Back in the day, I used a Chevy 6.0 gasser as a tow rig. Decidedly unimpressed. FWIW.
