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.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
