Re: Can't decide between 5.3 or 6.0

I put a stock '00 5.3 in my '71 c10 and it's got plenty of power for a DD. It'll roast the tires anytime I want. And I'm averaging 18 mpgs, with no dyno tune...yet.

That's what I like to hear. I think I got so hung up on having a lot of power that I forgot that my truck will be my DD.
