That is a fact that can be researched with googling.īTW, the 8.1L is not dead.
8.1 VORTEC MPG PLUS
Plus they had "bigger" plans for the Tonowanda, NY engine plant where the L18 was built. The 8.1L cannibalized sales from the Duramax in the medium duty and HD trucks and with the 8.1L needing another round of emissions certifications in 2010 as well (with a cost of around 6 million), GM chose to kill it off in hopes of forcing what would be 8.1L sales to a Duramax. The only reason GM discontinued the 8.1L is because they had to invest close to 100 million dollars into the Duramax to meet 20 diesel emissions. I have one more 8.1L hanging on an engine stand to go in to my Burb as well. A larger cam would even do more wonders for it. It doesn’t take much to wake up one of these beasts. The tuner claims to have dyno’d this combination at 425HP/555 lb. This one is running Torque Management delete, EGR delete, drive-by-wire delete, a hot tune added and a bump in fuel pressure. It is like having diesel power without the BS of owing a diesel. Works great and still better on fuel than any old carbureted engine ever could be with twice the power.

I also installed an 8.1L in my K10 in 2008.
8.1 VORTEC MPG MANUAL
I’ve been very seriously considering selling it as I am beyond tired of the 6 speed manual and have a major man crush on the new 2014 Silverado 1500’s but we have fresh baby at home so it will be a while before a new truck will happen. It is also the worst riding truck I’ve ever owned. I love the engine but I absolutely hate the truck and the ZF 6 speed as it has the most awkward shift pattern and shift gates of any manual I’ve ever driven, hence the reason it has low miles (I drove an ’89 Suburban and ’92 4Runner everywhere else). The truck is like brand new and bone stock inside and out, right down to the airbag decal hanging from the glove box. Almost 13 years later and I’ve only racked up 61,000 miles on it. It is somewhat rare with a 6 speed manual and bucket seats (& 4:10 gears). I bought mine brand new on Septemduring the “Keep America Rolling” campaign after 9-11.
