There's an old shop in my hometown that is highly regarded in the plow industry. When I had them build mine, I told them I fully intended to put a 6.0 in the truck and beat the snot out of it. The owner said "don't worry, we'll build you a strong unit." No 6.0, but I have beat on it. I lost all my momentum towing Homestake Pass headed west when a semi swung out in front of me. I had to ask the little 4.8/4l70 to get 5000lbs moving on a 6% grade...5000+ RPM to the summit <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />I recently serviced it at 30,000 since rebuild. The only thing the original shop didn't change was the solenoids (not included on invoice). I did Sonnax solenoids and swapped the 1-2 accumulator for the Sonnax Pinless piece. Strong unit indeed.</blockquote>
