Title: Big 10
Post by: brennent on February 03, 2016, 08:22:30 pm

My truck is a Big 10, which i know was the "heavy Duty" half ton model. I also know that chevy made to the big 10 model to get around smog regulations. Ive been doing a lot of research but what i can figure out is what it changes. I know GVWR went up to 6001 and there was no catalytic converter. What else did having the big 10 do? i don't think the catalytic converter dropped any power production, i was hoping one of you guys could tell me more.
