Guys,


While looking thru the Chevy site I noticed that the C8500 has this listed


Engine options: the standard DURAMAX™ 7.8L Diesel


Is this a new motor.. or did I just miss it

it would be cool if they offered the 7800 in-line 6 in 2500 & 3500 series truckshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Yeah except the rear tires would be off the ground. I've been lookin' at the med duty c7500s and the 7800 Dmax is purty big. I think they are rated from 215hp to 300hp and 520 - 860 ft lbs. A good tuner and an exhaust would put the 6.6L right there and.....your back tires would touch...http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif
