Thats what scares me to. I havent run a GM gasser like this, but have run Fords at work. Not a fan of how they rev when pulling. Always puts me on edge hearing an engine whine like that when pulling a load. But it seems like these 6.6l gassers are built for it. Maybe I could adapt!

Used to have a fleet of various model trucks when I was a PM/estimator/construction. The GM 8.1L was the only old torque monster. A friend of mine got a 7.3 gasser Ford and loves it. I haven't driven one yet. I had a half ton 6.2L Chevy i got when my f 350 was stolen right before covid and it was a beast. Towed our artic fox trailer fine but the suspension was way too light for it. I made two trips hauling stuff home from California. I sold it during the covid crisis after using it to tow my car trailer back and forth from fall city yo montana when I moved here. Put 70k on it that year almost all towing. It was a great truck and still my favorite pick up ive ever owned.
