If I were to buy a new truck today, I would buy the 2500HD with the 8.1 liter (496ci.) Big Block. with the allison tranny. The 6.0 (362ci.?) just isn"t enough motor when your pulling. YES, the diesel is nice but, if you do the math it doesn"t add up. Take the price of the engine $5000+ added to the price of the truck. Maintenance is higher, more oil, filters,etc... Fuel prices are higher. If you take the mpg differance betwwen the two engines, You would have to drive more miles then the truck will ever last. I know that sounds bad but they don"t make them like they used too. The motors might last forever they say, I say ok but the rest of the truck is the same. Good luck on what ever you do. By the way, you should get between 12 and 14/15 mpg with the big block if you keep your foot out of it.
