Not even close on the Allison being behind the 6.0. Only the 6.6L diesel and the 8.1 gas have ever gotten the Allison. The 8.1 is no longer available, which means only the Dmax gets the Allison. Do you know why? Because the transmission that the gas has would get destroyed by the diesel. It would tear it apart in no time flat. Go over to GM.ca and try to build a truck with a 6.0 and an Allison. Can't do it and it's been that way for the last 11-12 years. The Allsion also has max. rpm the the gas could go over. The 6.0 6 speed is a 6l80e/90e. I never said that a diesel HP was bigger than a gas HP, I simply said that torque plays a role in the ability to pull. You have a 2003 truck with a 6.0 correct? Why didn't you get a 2003 Duramax instead. It was a pre-emmissions engine that used cheaper fuel, the diesel engine wasn't an $11000 option back then, closer to $4000, and given the mileage difference between the 6.0's 14-16 on the highway and the diesel's 20-24 on the highway I have little doubt it would pay. 14-16 is also a fairly optimistic number for a 6.0. Many report 12-14 on a really good day.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
