Chevrolet 8.1 Vortec advice

Tom, thanks for the reply; the one thing I can say for this thing is it does not lack for any power! If it was weak and got poor mileage then that would lead me to believe something was wrong and point me in some direction for action. I believe you are correct in the fact that its just big and its going to get what it gets. A lot of gas can be bought for the cost of another truck. Might just add an auxiliary tank to avoid so many fuel stops! Bob, was your pick-up stock and did it hunt between gears when towing at highway speed?
