I'd agree a diesel will be less stressful on YOU. A screaming engine is wearing.
The drivetrain could care less.
When you are towing, you are imputing the same amount of torque on a hill, diesel or gas.
The drivetrain is virtually identical too. unlike the gm product.

I agree that, at equal speeds, torque to the ground will be equal diesel or gas. But since the gas truck will probably have a lower (numerically higher) final drive ratio, wouldn't all of the drivetrain prior to axle see less torque on a gas truck?

I suppose it would.
The transmission in these trucks 2005+ is rated way higher than the v10 or stock psd will put down as well.
1100 Ft/Lb? I think?
5 forward gears
r reverse
1100 ft/lb

Buy your fuel filters and oil filters online (diesel filters online I think). Fuel filters are 37$ for racor (make motorcraft filters) and oil filter is 17$ I think. Your truck will do way better towing than your old gasser did. Just cause your not turning 5500rpm doesnt neccesarily mean you aint bein hard on the tranny. Remember you are making more horsepower and torque, just lower rpm.

6.0 and 6.4 psd's are very picky, filters are patented and most aftermarket one are not the same dimensions or design. I wish it was that easy! The V10 guys beat the snot outta us on maintenance!

Coming to OEM filter, I am using those available at Wallmart and had elevated iron in my oil test while using Mobil 1 oil. The technician explained that the iron is too small to be filtered by the filter.
I am not buying those logic. Anybody knows about better filters?
