The way it is setup you cannot deviate from a stock engine. However if you plan on stripping out all the electronics and go old school powertrain you can go diesel, or gasoline right up to big blocks. However if you live where testing is required to get it licensed then you can’t do anything.

That all depends on how the truck is equipped. The books show anywhere form 3300 to 5200 lbs. With that gear ratio and engine I'm leaning towards the 3300 rating.
