Those GM turbo diesels can make almost 1,000 FT/Lbs of torque for very little money, and in 4WD have traction you would not believe! Great sleeper vehicles. Who would think a HUGE, heavy truck could haul that much ass?
Hell, my 4.8L gas Silverado is no slouch, and all I did was a CAI, cat back and tune. Of course, the cargo helps a bit too with the competition!
