Don’t take out a 10 year loan then loser.

Very true.

Alright, 200k truck coming right up.

Only if you don’t haul anything. Bigger engine, heavier chassi and brakes, heck yes!!

This would help with longevity as it would be like diesels of old making peak power just off idle. Oh and it would help lower N0x emissions even further.

thats what i was thinking it would be

More, that wont even get you a raptor.

Way more than 120. The new 2500 L5Ps are 125 alone. Out the dealer these will easily be 165k.

In 1978 I drove to the local GMC dealer and paid cash for a 3/4 ton 4x4 Truck. Cost 6,700$ out the door.

And frames can be engineered and there's plenty of axels out there that can handle the power...

Yes your dildo is in the works be patient, enjoy your skittles and Blessings to you - Stay Safe

Same

And u shouldn’t. The lb7 is like the 12 valve. True million mile truck. First most reliable common rail built. The only thing prone to fail on the truck is injectors. Which they fixed. Take a lb7 do the 6 speed valve body upgrade. U got a gem. My lb7 with a 6 speed intake exhaust and ego live would do 25mpg hiway with 35s and I’m not exaggerating. I’d drive it from northern ut to Vegas regularly on less than a tank. Almost 500mile trip.

​@braylinbateman4369 don't forget the crank.... I have several '06's and as I pick away at rebuilding two of them to have a new truck ready to go when needed, the cranks are slotted and keyed instead of the damn dowel pin OE set up

Shiny 290 🇺🇸🦅

the 8.3 will not have to work as hard to make better power than the 6.6... and create less emissions... or so they say...

100% agreed. Like seeing a Montana Van pulling a26’ RV with 3 Bicycles on his rear bumper and 3 kids in the back seat.

I have a 2024 dually pro I got for ranch hauling hay last summer was hauling over combined rating it was very impressive power and handling with that load braking for what your hauling was pretty darn good

Lol 😁 😆 🤣 I think the big 3 needs to focus on reliability rather than just building a bigger motor that most Americans never use or need and just drive it on the pavement as a daily. Also let's not forget the ridiculous over priced rip off demands for these trucks..... just all around disappointing. Dont be surprised if we hear some bankruptcy reports, again.....

That was an inline 6, and it was straight Isuzu. Supposed to have been a good engine.

@@holsteinsanddiesels7758 tool truck has one 20 yrs plus old and still going strong!!

They need to move away from v8 diesels

You know they'll be doing alot of tq mgmt for warranty purposes

GM should build it and it would sell like hotcakes. But like the old saying goes built by Americans, loved by Americans and hated by democrats

The only reason DEF is needed it to keep NoX emissions down. The only reason the NoX emissions are high is the power being produced is very high creating high temperature cylinder gasses. The only reason the power numbers are so high is because the big truck makers have been in a HP and Torque war since International put a turbo on the 7.3. The only reason the auto makers pushed for higher numbers is because that's what truck buyers voted for with their wallets. DEF is a consumer created problem. It's not an EPA created problem. Bigger engine making less power and you will not need DEF and you'll hit the noise and emissions requirements with todays injection control systems combined with a simple catalyst in the exhaust stream. Your request is only reachable with lower power and larger engines: the exact opposite of the high power smaller engine size that is being pushed across all manufacturers.

@@btwbrand not close to true. bigger equals less, but its deffenately the EPA controling things. That really comes down to how you vote. Democrats are why were here, and people of this country is why we have Democrats. Republicans arent any better. We need America. Anyways, youll always gonna be seeing DEF, EGR might go, but DEF is only the begining. control control control. Stand up people and fight back. Start with voting. Get new faces, America loving people. not corporate assholes.

Thanks I should have said that in the video

The 6.8 V8 is a Godzilla, same engine design, smaller displacement.

@@WBOS72 nobody calls the 6.8 the Godzilla, but thanks for chiming in.

@@cstgx Actually nobody call the 7.3 godzilla either, lol.

@@mrhrobinson you are incorrect

Not even close to maxed!

He has no clue

Its about emissions and lower rpm. Same power at lower rpm for less smoke is what they are aiming for.

@@ShadowOppsRC Can only go so low in the rpm. The trucks transmission won't let it hit max torque that low. It will down shift

@@countcuda70depends. I bet they add an electric hydraulic pump to keep trans pressures in check at lower rpm.

Multiply by EPA and government Bureaucracy and then let me know what it comes out as.

Thanks for the info Gary

Bring back the big block trucks.

Interesting 🤔

@@TruckMaster i drove i70 parachute to Denver daily and 1 or 2x a week ill see these 2 on i70 between denver and grand jct pulling the the passes and out on rolling hills of the western slopes

Welcome!

BET. 50 years of the EPA's regulations and solutions yet the problems have only amplified? Sure seems to me like some platinum mines owned by wealthy lobbyists needed more buyers for a low volume commodity, kinda like lithium now....

@@mikeallen5291 I’ve been saying it for years. Our carbon footprint is cleaner than it’s ever been, and we’re out here screaming the planet has just a few more years to live… and I’m supposed to buy that? When, exactly what you’re saying about mining metals for batteries is a thing that’s overlooked anytime/everytime. It’s insane how people can’t put that together.

@@Mattss90 Finally, someone who sees the forrest from the trees. I began my endeavor in the 90's studying the historical climate because what I was told in school was not aligning with what I knew prior to the indoctrination of the discussion in our school. I was tipped off further when I, by sheer chance, came across an article in a science paper in which studies were done by major universities that discussed what was coming out of exhaust pipes pre and post catalyst. They made it rather blatant point that particulate mass in the atmosphere was the issue in the 70's when the discussion was about smog, but the removall of so much of that mass will lead to something like a magnifying glass effect. They then discussed the amounts of greenhouse gases in depth. If memory serves correctly, the toxic gases are reduced, but that toxicity is relative to humans and not to atmospheric stability. In short, the catalytic converters lower the amount of gases and toxins that are dangerous to humans, but the cost is increased greenhouse gases leaving exhaust pipes. I remember the sun not being so hot on my skin and having winter every single year like clockwork in the midwest up until the early 90's down to having snow almost every halloween. we had 90's weather in the summer and even a few 3 digit days annually, but very few mild winters. Meaanwhile back at the ranch, countries like Ukraine, were too cold and undeveloped for ag, but they are now ag powerhouses and were made that way with helf from the good ol' USA. I always laughed when I heard the line on King of the Hill when Dale Gribble said "let the planet warm up. We'll grow oranges in Alaska.". I'm not laughing now when I know that one of the biggest issues humans face as the world poulation grows, is food shortages. I apologize for the diatribe but it's not every day that I get someone that doesn't rag on me for my thought process on this matter. If it is gov't and it's name ends in "agency" or "service" it's an unregulated company that needs no legislation to enforce its laws and rules and that is how the gov't has bypassed the constitution when it comes to what rights we supposedly have.

What are you doing with the truck??? I get 14-15 doing stop and go driving around the city and 16-20 on the highway

Because it is his truck.

For the haters 😂👍

Yes you can but you would need to swap the tcm/ecm/bcm, and all wiring harnesses it’s probably best to buy a donor LMM truck to do the swap on a 04 body. Just a thought

Cool. But ya gotta be nuts to buy one. 100k plus

No one would buy it at that price, have to remember it still needs to actually sell

@@logandavies5950 people have been buying 3/4 tons that at that price and upgrading them. The prices have only recently started to go down. If this additional power can increase your earning power, I’m sure you’d spend it.
