04 2500 Suburban with the 8.1. 70,000 miles. Just came back from the body shop. Hard to see, but it has the power heated towing mirrors, and I think they're power fold.

Has the built in trans temp gauge.
I lifted the plastic cover over the motor and I guess the 8.1's have a metal upper intake instead of the plastic ones the other motors have.

Yeah, it spent its whole life as a marina truck. Pulling boats out of the water and moving them around. It actually had all the rust repaired. All rust was cut out and repkaced with new metal. I didn't look underneath once it got back tho.
