Yes! I agree, that is why we put them in the 55 and I have a set for the 97 Suburban. My 02 K2500 was an awesome truck, like it says in my signature, wish I had a do-over.
Yea, the guy I bought the 2004 K2500HD from, sold it because he said it was more truck than he needed. He stuck with a GMT800 C1500 and I saw him a couple days ago and he says he misses the K2500 already. Wishes he never sold it to me.
Oh wow, I like that truck!
They’re like crack to me
Roger that!
My wife wants a truck just like that, but ideally a crew cab. Her dad had one growing up that she drove and loved! His is a extended cab long bed with just a bit too much rust for me to put the effort in to revive (AK plow truck). But, we are keeping our eyes out for a pre-cateye crew cab short box 2500 4x4 with a 6.0. I'd personally be into an 8.1 truck also, but those are getting increasingly hard to find. Oh, and ideally without tow mirrors. Not sure why, but I really dislike tow mirrors on these.
If you have the right gear, the 6.0 should tow fine, to a point. Nothing says torque like a big block. If the 8.1 crank sensor ever goes, well, have fun.
Never been a fan of the 6.0, but that said I haven't tuned one yet. A proper tuned 6.0 might be just fine.
