  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! :rolleyes: :chuckle:

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.

So the 6.6 10 speed gasser just came out in 2024?

Pretty much decided I am going to stick with a diesel. Probably a low mileage 2020 or newer. Drove a nice 2020 High Country. Nice truck, but seats were hard as a rock. Slight vibration in rear. Vibrations scare me. Ive had some that you cant get rid of. Others are pretty easy to fix. Also drove 2020 LTZ. I felt like the seats are more comfy. Of the half dozen we drove. This one was the smoothest, nicest riding. A ton of Canadien trucks out there. Drove a beautiful 22 High Country. 18,00 miles. Stiff ride. Might just need the tires aired down a few pounds. Out of Canada. Out of consideration. Have a list of a few others to look at. Actually have preference of a couple colors and prefer a non black interior so pretty slim pickens. But a few out there. Found what looks like a dandy LTZ with everything we want. Way out of state, but if everything aligned could be very tempting.
