[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 248206, member: 1384"] [b]Re: Re: 6.0 tow motor?[/b] I'd just get a topper and sell the gooseneck. Will be much nicer in the long run. I had a 06 2500hd with 6.0/4l80e and the difference between it and my duramax is enough that i've swore off gas tow vehicles. The 6.0 averaged 8-9 mpg towing One Toyota crawler on a 18' car hauler. The crew cab duramax gets 16-17. I have a 32' open deck bumper pull that I regularly pull 2 crawlers or my crawler and race truck on, and the diesel still gets 11-12 mpg. so my range is doubled, not to mention that I can actually hold speed up any hill I come across. If you aren't driving the diesel everyday, then the service really isn't that bad. And if you are, invest in some good full synthetic oil, and pull an oil sample and send it off for oil analysis rather than just changing $100 of oil. In short: diesel> gas [/QUOTE]
