You’ll find better pricing that way too most of the time. The Gallup, Farmington, Durango areas are always a good bit more expensive than the bigger cities. As far as gas trucks go I’ve had 2 8.1’s, a couple 6.0’s and I still have my ‘98 with the 454. The 8.1 is the absolute best of the bunch for pulling and hauling. The vortec 454 is a dog, the later 07+ 6.0’s will out pull it a lot of the time.(The 6 speed auto is a big big part of that though) Gm screwed the pooch on the cam size and cam timing big time from the factory on the L19 vortec 454. My favorite power plant to date though was the L5p duramax I had in a company service truck when the l5p first came out in ‘17. That thing in stock form was an absolute animal.
