if you buy the 8.1 i hope you fall in love with it because it will be very hard to find a new home for it.


You say that. But I found a nice GMC with the 8.1 in Chattanooga, and it was gone in a few days. I've read that the 8.1 does get worse mpg when unloaded. But they say that when loaded, it get's about the same as the 6.0.

Thanks. But I'm only looking for a Chevy/GMC. I have a new 6.0 at home if I need it.
