What's wrong with running over 3000 rpm? Go look at your torque curve. Gassers make their peak tq/hp in the 4500-5000 range. Let'r rev.
I have 2003 1500HD and for the most part it tows very good, there's long climbs I wish I had diesel, but that's only towing. I have had no issues with mine.
I know the newer 6L with the 6spd are supposed to be worlds better than what I have.
MPG.. Well, it's a fullsize truck.
