Dog didn't want to go to the hospital! Came off the trailer about 50 miles from home. Lucky me, no damage to the pickup, and I got it reloaded and made it into town and into bed.
The Chevy 4.8 is what was under the hood, a destroked 5.3 and with a shorter stroke and longer rod it really liked to rev, but no power at all under about 3200rpm.
I absolutely LOVE the new 6-speed auto with manual shift. The gears are nicely spaced (except it seems a big gap between 2 and 3) and the shifts are instant. Averaged 12.7mpg with empty 10-foot van, trailer and 4000lb Dog.
