I do not want to get into a gas/diesel thing but did you know that there is a 8.1 gas motor/ allison transmission option.

I was towing around 10k with it and worked very well.

I have an 05 Duramax of course with the Allison. It has a 6 inch Fabtech lift 18 in. wheels with 35 in. tires. Ive done the Air intake, the full exhaust, and the Edge programer. It pulls my 29 fully loaded at 80plus mph at 1800 rpm. It is a flat out awsome machine gotta get one Im tellin you its the only way to go. It doesnt even know the boat is back there.
