Default Tired ol ecsb 6.0 build help

Well my 2000 ecsb has seen waaaayyy better days. It's a 2500 non he with lq4 coming in at a hot 301k miles truck has a fifth wheel in bed so I'm sure someone has gotten the best of it. Truck now has barely enough power to get out the way of traffic I'm looking to do a build that'll net me a lot of low end I pull a trailer tag along about 6-8k max and truck strains now also is it me or do the 2500s have a bigger stall than 5.3s? Thanks for the advice truck is 4wd with 33s with3.73s

Yea the 2500s come with a bigger stall iirc. Are you wanting to rebuild the 6.0 in it? We need a little more info on your goals.

I think our 2500hd has a lower stall converter than my 04 did.
