| Can anyone clear up some concerns of mine? The K1500 with a 5.7l engine is rated at 6500 lbs. I am pulling 6500llbs. The dealeer tells me not to worry! Should I be looking at a K2500 with a Vortec 7400? Don`t what kind of gas mileage I`d get with that beast. Help!!!! |

FIRST OF ALL WHAT YEAR IS YOUR SUBURBAN??? SECOND IF YOUR PULLING 6500 POUNDS YOU SHOULD BE OK WITH A 5.7 ..IF YOU DO NOT GO THROUGH MOUNTAINS ... DON'T GET MY WRONG IT WOULD PULL WHATEVER YOUR PULLING BUT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT
TO HARD ON YOUR ENGINE..IF YOUR GOING TO DO MOUNTAIN PULLING 75 PERCENT OF THE TIME... I WOULD SAY GET A 7.4 BECAUSE YOUR NOT GOING TO HAVE AS MUCH STRAIN ON THE ENGINE ... BUT THE ONLY THING IS THAT YOUR GOING TO LOSE GAS MILEAGE ....LIKE WITH OUR 96 SUB WE GET 17 TO 18 ON THE HIGHWAY AND 14 TO 15 IN TOWN WE HAVE THE 5.7 VORTEC WITH A 3.73 AXLE RATIO WHEREAS THE 7.4 IS GOING TO GET 12 TO 14 ON THE HIGHWAY AND 10 TO 12 CITY SO YOU MAKE THE CHOICE... ALSO HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO BE USING THE SUB????
