When a class A makes sense no more.

We bought it with 11,000 miles on it, though it was 30+ years old.
One or two trips per year from Boston to Vermont in all that time.

The construction style on that thing is a nightmare, honestly.

Re: GMC 6.2 swap

There was a bit...but for the most part, people confuse the 6.2 with the 5.7 Olds motor in the cars. They think it is a bored out version of one of those.

Re: 5.9b or 6bt tune and performance

Spring kits/adjustment makes the engine fuel out to a higher RPM range. How does that help you when your trans is in the next gear 150 RPM before the springs would make any difference?

Re: Make sure my thinking is not flawed

There is a big difference in the way it pulls.
You can use a 2 spd axle behind either though.
With the auto, you would just lift off the throttle to let it shift.

Re: tranny temps

Tranny fluid can lose its lubricity in one mile on a hard pull.
Literally, start a transmission that is perfect with hot fluid, burn it on a hard pull...and one mile later it is toast.

Re: 5.9b or 6bt tune and performance
