Default NV4500 behind 6.0L LQ4?
Is an NV4500 behind a 6.0L LQ4 in a 4900lb truck going to feel like a lazy, heavy transmission? If so I'd rather go with a 4L80E I think.

Thanks for any answers!

1st gear and the percentage drop between gears is not "sporty," it's "truck-like."

Wide ratio Tremec 6 speed sounds good to me.

Hi I have a NV4500 in a 2003 6.0 and it's a very strong tranny even with high miles on the truck it will get and go for a truck but is fantastic when even I hook up to something
