Allow me introduce you to "THOR"
The last few days I've been walking around with a silly grin on my face.
![]() Because I purchased a truck. But not just any truck. A special truck. So what is it? 4.8? Nope 5.3? Nope 6.0? Nope 6.2? Nope Diesel? Nope Meet THOR. ![]() A 2003 GMC 2500HD extended cab 4X4 with 129K miles. He's equipped with the 8.1L Vortec. Backed by the 5 speed Allison transmission. Plus, the PO added the following goodies....Valley 5th wheel hitch, Airlift 5,000 lb helper rear bags with remote, Prodigy 2 brake controller, tool box and turbo net tailgate. Yea, I know the gas mileage is horrible....but who gives a crap. I plan to fully use this for any/all of these purposes 1. Towing a race car trailer 2. Towing a camping trailer or boat 3. Carrying a truck camper To own and drive a BBC truck is special. But to own the largest push rod BBC made with 496 cid is well, living large. The power is simply amazing. Just had to share.... |

Nice truck, I had 2001, 2500 HD crew cab with the 8.1 in it. The truck passed everything but a gas station, haha. When gas got up around $5 a gallon I traded it in. I miss that truck, have fun with yours and try to keep rear tires on it.

Re: Allow me introduce you to "THOR"
you may be not liking the MPG but that'll all change when your buddies have to get work done on their diesels.
There's a reason they put 8100's in class B motorhomes
