This one is another monster, and with 1 bid already at the $16,500 starting price, somebody is going to pay the price for it. Beauty of a truck.

Nice truck!  And it already has the D60 I just installed in Big Blue.

But I'm not a big fan of the C6 behind the 460 due to the lack of overdrive.  And that C5 code on the certification label says it has 4.10 gears.  So where Big Blue with its T19 and 3.55's used to get 11 MPG if you babied it, this thing is gonna be about 9 MPG I'd guess.  That's 'cause at 65 MPH it would be turning 3,000 RPM.  

However, if you put a ZF5 in it you are looking at 2,100 RPM at 65.  Now you should be able to get maybe 12 MPG, which is a 33% improvement.  And you could tow anything.
