Trans changed with the body style in the 3/4 ton. The 6 liter/4L80E tows like a mushy pedal pig with a lot of weight and do poorly on fuel.

The 8.1 was known to burn tremendous amounts of oil between services.

The 6 speed 6L80E (or is it actually the 6L90E) with the 6.0 tows much nicer and does a phenomenal job of engine braking.
