I thought long and hard on doing a duramax swap in mine but wound up going lq9 6.0 due to the extreme cost of diesel engines..

This is true. Diesel engine is expensive. Engines alone around here are $1500 and up. Then a trans, controller, and other parts. I'm only thinking Diesel for the power and torque and the fuel mileage. Knocking down 20-24 mpg in that big truck will be nice!

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the 6.0? My dad said that's what I should do since I know more about LS engines and I can work on them and stuff. I have a 01 Camaro SS with a built 410 iron block stroker making 600hp to the crank and 520 to the tires. So I know my way around ls engines pretty good.
