Will a booster help with this? If so, what do you recommend? We have service with AT&T and I have an iPhone 6 and my wife has an iPhone 5. We also have an iPad with cellular internet.Re: Chevrolet 6.0 compared to 5.3Thanks for all of the info guys! Just to clear a few things up. I am looking for a newer model truck. Will either try to find a slightly used one or trade my 1/2 ton in on a new one. The heaviest thing that I will tow with it is the new tractor (13-14k including trailer). Will probably tow it 10-12 times a year, no more than 70 miles round trip. I currently do a lot of towing with my 1/2 ton, cattle, hay, travel trailer, ect. The 3/4 ton will help with those duties as well.Re: Chevrolet 6.0 compared to 5.3 therink wrote: I average 12.5. Steve 12.5 unloaded? Wow, I knew it would be lower, but that's low...Chevrolet 6.0 compared to 5.3I'm currently driving a Chevy 1/2 ton with the 5.3 engine. It's the second one that I've owned and I think that's it's a really good engine. I'm wanting to upgrade to a 3/4 ton and the more I think about it, I may just go the gas engine route. So I have a few questions for the guys that have owned the 6.0. Will it be as reliable as the 5.3? How good of milage are you getting in the 2500? I get about 17 in my 5.3 1500 4x4. How well does it tow? I will be pulling my travel trailer, cattle trailer, and my 70HP tractor that weighs 10,000lbs. So I think the heaviest load would be the tractor. With trailer I'm thinking it would be in the 13,000-14,000lb range.Re: How are the new Ford diesel engines?Thanks for all of the replies. I traded my Ram 2500 in on a Chevy 1/2 ton last year and I haven't been keeping up with diesel engines on the forums. The 1/2 ton doesn't meet my needs and I need to go back to a 3/4 ton. It sounds like most on here would recommend that I go back with a Ram or Chevy. Is that true? Would either be a good choice?How are the new Ford diesel engines?Back in 2011 when I bought my Dodge, Ford had just come out with the 6.7L engine. I really liked the look of the F250, but due to the history of engine problems, I was afraid to go with the new engine. Anyway, I'm thinking about trading for an F250. Who has a lot of miles on a 6.7? What kind of luck are people having with them?
