In a Chevy, yes, it will be a 6.0L. Chevy stopped putting the 8.1L in trucks in early 2007. The 6.0L is the only gas option in 3/4 and 1-ton trucks since the 2007 new body style came out.
The 2004 Duramax doesn't have the ludicrous power of the current ones. That was when the Duramax was just starting to pull ahead of the 8.1L gasser as far as power and torque went.
A 2011 6.0L gasser can easily keep up with a stock 2004 Duramax as long as you are not afraid to let it downshift and rev up. So many people think the engine is going to explode if it runs more than 2000RPMs. That's just plain stupid thinking.
You only get "most" of your investment back out of the diesel when you go to sell it. Not all. If you buy a gasser you get 100% of your diesel investment back because you never spent it in the first place.

There were a few years where high gas prices and bad economy killed the HD truck market and now there's a shortage of good used ones out there. Gas or diesel, you will be able to resell a nice truck at a premium price.

Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
