Thanks for your service, and nice truck you have there.

I'd stick with the I6 if you're wanting a daily driver. V8's are nice, but probably not as reliable and definately not as good on gas. The 350 I have has never gotten above 18mpg... and that's with an OD trans and appropriate rear gearing. I'm in the process of aquiring the stuff necessary for a swap to a 250.

That's just my twopence. V8's are sure fun to have though. Even a small one will make the tires squeal much easier.
