I had the tire shop jack the front-end and spin the wheels....I couldn't hear anything abnormal and couldn't get any play even with a 4 foot...

    500,000 miles on a 6.0?

    Gas Mileage and Axle Ratios

    weight would also be an issue I would think...gotta be considerable difference in those 2 rigs. Being picky but...gas mileage will be terrible on either unit; diesel will probably be better.:sly Be well! BTW..my units use an almost identical amount of fuel on our runs (800+ miles) I had...
