I used a 6.5 2000 3500 drw 2x4 dump truck with a "rugby" dump body at work. Weight was 8k empty. The only thing that sucks more than the power output of a stock 6.5 is the sound it makes. Or maybe the hot no start issue thats supposed to go away if you relocate the computer. 🤷‍♂️

I own 3 common rails and a ls pickup. You closed a lot of options. Understandable so. Maybe look into a cat or dt466 swap? Im go8ng down the 454 road myself. The 456 gears make the truck feel light up to highway cruising speeds.
