Does this make sense to you that if it works fine in the Promaster it should work fine in the Express? I know the best scenario would be to test drive it with a full load but I don't think I'm gonna be able to test drive the Express with a 2,500lb pallet in the back.

I think either engine would be fine, it's just a question of whether you want to spend the next few years saying "darn, I wish I had more power" or "darn, I wish I got better gas milage". :-)

If you're looking to buy new, I think the choice is already made for you. The web site still shows the 6.6 as an option, but the dealers I talked to said that Chevrolet wasn't taking orders with the V8.
