From what I have read getting a late '98 thru '02 6BT and P-pumping it gave the best results while keeping the mods down. I'm not looking for shear foot stompin' black smoke throwin' power. For me its about getting the highest MPGs and loooong term reliability; having some power in reserve is nice when towing or running a good incline too. By going with a HD NV4500 will the MPGs improve over the TF727? I figured the OD would help out with the freeway milage. There is the 6 speed NV but I didnt see much advantage to it. Do you know what T-cases can run behind the NV trans besides the 241? From what I found the 241DHD with the PTO option was the strongest they had. Of course budget is big for my build so I'm betting I'll have to cobble something together.
