Terry,
If your concerned about mileage at all go w/ a 4.7L. My 2wd CC gets avg of
18-19mpg. I saw Ed "oldznut" claim 18.5mpg in a QC 4x4 @75 mph for half a
tank. I'm shocked if I hear 5.9ers getting better than 16mpg. I'd be
willing to bet the heaver the truck gets the wider the performance gap will
get between the 4.7 and the 5.9.
Hey Ron,
That wouldn't have been a Black 4.7L CC that you raced would it? I'm
jealous of the PB colors so I tend to pick fights with them.

It really wasn't a big race. We just got on it briefly getting on the
freeway. The differences 4.7 auto vs 5.9 auto, the 4.7 was a CC, I'm a QC
so there are weight differences. Rear axles were the same. I've since
changed mine to 3.92's and I do accelerate faster. I don't have numbers for
you just butt dyno feel. Too hard to tell you the changes at that time
since I have had a lot of changes since.
