A friend of ours had a pretty nice class a with a 8.1 it pulled fine. The things that were a pain.

1) it ate spark plug wires
2) if you didn’t feed it premium the thing wou,d start missing and backflushing injectors fixed it.
3) Big pain was transmission. It had a drum brake deal on the tail housing that broke. When it does, you don’t have park.

Power was not a problem pulling a 26 foot trailer
