I too like the 6BT...I've got 150,000 miles on one in my 2005 Dodge 3500 that puts out 325 hp/600# torque before I put the Banks system on it. The 8.2 is known to have head gasket issues. Is yours turbocharged? I was thinking about it today....Some of the newer gas engines in the 1 ton trucks are producing lots of power and better fuel economy than in the past they are smoother and quieter that any diesel. ...Something to consider in a front engine motorhome...Another thing to consider is whether you want to get into the electronics that the newer engines require.
