He should consider a 6.2, I love them. Plenty of power to tow the boat to the lake. You can pull the motor in the parking lot and use it as a anchor for the boat. At the end of the day, reinstall it in the truck & drive home.  Its a very practical motor.

Oh my gosh, even worse, they are solid too, but they don't belong in a 1 ton that has to haul around that much weight all the time.

Hey Tim the videos worked for me. What happened on the first run? Were you running in 4low and 2nd gear in the second video? It looked like you did not bog down any. What gears are you running also? It looked like a pretty good turn out too. The pics looked really good as well.
It's been a LONG time since I have been called a newbie. Just sayin....

I thought you would be 2nd gear and running in 4 low. I have the same motor, transmission and transfer case that you are running. I think you are probably geared lower than me since you have a 3/4 ton. I think you are running 38's also right?

so if i was in 4low and 2nd it would have a ratio of 7.01:1
in 4 hi and 2nd i have a ratio of 3.58:1
if i stayed in 4 hi and 1st i would have a ratio of 6.55:1
4low and 1st would be 12.83:1
next time i might try 1st gear its only a little difference than low and 2nd but im going to have to go out and play now
