IIRC, 2005 was the last year for the 8.1L
None of the NBS Sub 2500s have the 8.1L.

2006. Here's one that has been on my local craigslist for the last six months. The White Yukon in Texas looks to be a great deal comparably. If it was local, I'd be looking at it. I've been watching these myself.

I've got a '98 with 454 and 410 rear end 42 gallon tank 4 x 4 rhino lined interior 4" frame lift. Has full leather interior and the bun warmers still work. It towed my 28' Skater back when I got it. Used or hunting last few years towing rangers and four wheelers. It will pass anything on the Hwy except a gas station.

I just bought a 05 2500 LT Autoride with 8.1 and 4.10's and love it. You know the 4.10 is very very rare and most are 3.73's. There is a options code sticker in the glove box door, in alphabetical order. Code GT5=4.10, code GT4=3.73, and G80 is limited slip if it has it.
Also factory tow rating is 10k with 3.73's and 12k with 4.10 both with 8.1. Milage sucks but didn't buy it for the milage.

F32 DCB with big drives so 12,000 lbs. Wife is requiring the functionality of a burb so no choice. We drive a small car to vacation house so need the functionality of a burb while we are there. I hate Fords so Excursion not an option.
