In a Chevy, yes, it will be a 6.0L. Chevy stopped putting the 8.1L in trucks in early 2007. The 6.0L is the only gas option in 3/4 and 1-ton trucks since the 2007 new body style came out.
The 2004 Duramax doesn't have the ludicrous power of the current ones. That was when the Duramax was just starting to pull ahead of the 8.1L gasser as far as power and torque went.
A 2011 6.0L gasser can easily keep up with a stock 2004 Duramax as long as you are not afraid to let it downshift and rev up. So many people think the engine is going to explode if it runs more than 2000RPMs. That's just plain stupid thinking.
You only get "most" of your investment back out of the diesel when you go to sell it. Not all. If you buy a gasser you get 100% of your diesel investment back because you never spent it in the first place.
Used 3/4 and 1 ton truck prices are INSANE right now, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. There were a few years where high gas prices and bad economy killed the HD truck market and now there's a shortage of good used ones out there. Gas or diesel, you will be able to resell a nice truck at a premium price.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
