Re: 6.0 engine?

not sure if the 2500 and 3500 have the same 6.0...but if so its the LY6...which is an iron 6.0L with VVT and the high flow L92/LS3 style heads, with rectangular intake ports instead of cathedral ports. They are good strong motors with lots of potential. The VVT should give you great torque and mid range power, w/o sacrificing wide open power...all while getting reasonable fuel economy when cruising. Since the VVT works off of your oil system...just keep the oil clean and you shouldn't have any problems.
