Here is an update, wife asked to get another truck for the 10th time already. I have my eyes on an extended cab 2007-2008 GMC or Chevy 2500 HD 6.0 gas that has the same engine that all the stuff I bought will bolt on to. So I am selling the complete engine in the clasifieds.

just stick with the 6.0 and no monthly payment! your truck will last you, not to mention the boat you thought about buying!!! but for sure if you are going to get a 3/4 ton/1 ton get a duramax with the allison tranny. thats a combo FTW! do not (as dewey said) get a 6.0 in a 3/4 ton for a DD you will regret the gas milage with it!

The newer truck bug hit me and after the weekend went by I have a better picture of the idea. I just need to finish my project and re-evaluate in a year once wifes benz is paid off like originaly planned.
I am over the newer tuck high now. I read up on so many posts where people are selling them cheap due the mpg. The one I was looking at was a 2008 ext cab short bed for $14k.

What I meant is that I read on several posts on other websites where due to the low mpg they are selling them as well as the downed economy.

MPG shouldn't be any worse than the '99-07 Classic. Actually they should be better as we move FWD. 3.23s are std. gear for mileage instead of whatever. However, new ones are supposed to use that new EPA actual rating that's more accurate.
Either that, or the people buyin them shouldn't but them in the 1st place if they can't afford them.
People livin beyond their means.

What what i want to do with my truck not sure if it would be the best route.
Running a cam, long tubes, remove vvt, bottle, or maybe it is? I will just stick with the intitial plan.
