Had 18k of busted concrete behind my 454 powered 97 K3500 recently. These ol big blocks don't really care about dragging it, its just stopping it that can get interesting. Id get some of the factory dually overload springs for your truck too, they should bolt right on.

With the 6.6 gasser not getting the best reviews (even with the 10spd) I hope #GM starts to think about bringing back the larger engines like the 7.4, 8.1 & yes even the vaunted 4.2 would be nice to get a come back. No fancy cylinder shut down just proper tuning & transmissions please

I have a 2024 6.6 gas 3500 it works great. I have been gross out over 25000lbs with it a few times. I don't know where u heard that from. 6.6 doesn't cut cylinders

@@bigmurph1447 have heard that they don't cut the cylinders just that people have been disappointed / let down by lack of "power" with the 6.6 L8T, the choice of a couple larger engines would be nice & given the advancement in metallurgy, cylinder head design & tuning the 7.4 would be a real stump puller let alone if they brought back the 8.1/8.2 options (friends dad in highschool had a 502 8.2L in his 2500 cat eye) as well regaining the "king of the hill" displacement war going on.

The best thing you can ever do for that 8.1 is put a TR4050 behind it, I have owned 4, 8.1 trucks one with ZF 6 spd, Allision 4 speed /Allision 5 spd, 4l85e... the only issue with the ZF was the clutch kits were garbage. The allisions ate too much power yet were damn near indestructible. Best year IMO 06 factory removed EGR.

So is that a 2500 or 2500hd? I know a few videos you referenced to it as a 1500hd.

Originally it was 1500hd 6.0 4l80 I bought a 3500 dually 8.1 6 speed Allison and swapped it then built the heavy frame under it

@@JeffreyWindley-n4i I don't think so. We'll see what he says though. Lol I have a 2017 Silverado I'm putting together o just bought with 46,000 miles. Currently putting Eaton lockers and 411 gears. Plan on going with 36 or 38" tires. 513s are pretty steep for it to come from the factory, unless ordered.

What is that on the hood? I luv the 8.1 on the road hate it at the gas pump. I'm just glad to see a truck being used as a work truck thats quite rare nowadays.
