Very cool, how do you like them. Was it worth the pain and suffering?

Check the SPID label in the glovebox for the engine code, and the gears will be a Gxx code. Whatcha got?

The 6.0 in the 2009 3500HD also struck me that it didn't seem like it was all that great for towing. It got 9MPG but again it was a wrecker that weighs 10K lbs EMPTY due to the wrecker unit and other extra equipment.

8.1's are beasts...even in a fully loaded 26' U-Haul.

The biggest downfall of the 6.0l is the factory tune. My local shop that does custom tuning said they could get me around 50 more hp and tq with dyno pulls to back it. They are extremely detuned from the factory and have torque management. I tow a trailer loaded with granite counter tops everyday and it handles it great. Yeah 13 mpg kinda sucks but so does 16. Of course mine is a 2001 so It doesn't have that poorly performing 6 speed auto behind it.

Completely! No broken body bolts, no hanging frame and from the front it looks huge because theres no crossmember hanging down. Worth every second and the year of searching..
