YES!! Literally sifted through 23 pages to find someone who did this hah have you had any problems with it at all? Also does it match the puddle lights or would it have been better to go with natural white?

Nice man thats a good truck! Have you done any mods to it?

Yes!! I live in cam and go up the grade almost every day! Haha it's awesome to know my truck stands out a bit lol what about you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you please link that form? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would be cool to meet up and see what others have done with there trucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothin too fancy but here it is!

Hey guys Its been awhile since this threads had some love so I figured Id throw mine into the ring! 2015 Chevy Silverado Tungsten LTZ 4x4 with Max Tow package Additions: 1) RetraxOne Tonneau Cover 2) DeeZee step bars 3) 3" Maxtrac leveling lift

Ok ladies and gentleman, I decided to run 3 tests to get some actual numbers. Take them for what you will and know that I drive like a grandma and worked with what I have. Specs: - 2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 - 3" leveling lift - Airdam still on - RetraxOne Tonneau cover - Stock 20" rims and tires - DeeZee step bars - Running in 2WD mode Distance: - 10 miles exact Terrain: - City stop and go with occasional long stretch all flat land Weather: - Cloudy and 64 degrees F Location: Camarillo, CA Assessment with Tow/Haul ON: - While driving with this on for the 10 mile distance I was able to achieve 15.2mpg during which time I noticed that the RPMs consistently stayed high. Shift points seem to be smoother but at the same time the truck was staying in the same gear for longer before shifting. The hard shifting that normally ensues with my truck went away. The truck DEFINITELY has more sport to it. From a dead stop there is no delay and the throttle is more responsive and more aggressive. Assessment with Tow/Haul OFF: - While driving with this on for the 10 mile distance I was able to achieve 19.7mpg during which time I noted normal shift points. The shifting is definitely more rough but the rpms constantly stayed down keeping the truck in a higher gear. There is definite difference between having Tow/Haul engaged and not having it engaged when it comes to throttle responsiveness. Selective Tow/Haul Engagement: - As I was reading through the comments I noted some people saying that the truck remains in gears longer and stays in V4 mode longer. I got to thinking about that and decided to try one more experiment with selectively engaging the Tow/Haul button when in v4 mode to keep the truck there longer. This actually yielded some surprising results. Driving the 10 mile stretch while engaging the button each time my truck entered v4 mode yielded 21.7mpg! Granted, engaging it each time and disengaging it when v8 came on was kind of a pain, but an argument can be made for long distance driving where v4 engages more often and for longer periods. On the freeway my truck stays in v4 most of the time at 70mph but kicks into v8 when a slight hill comes up. If the truck could be forced to stay into v4 during these transitions to small hills, there might be quite a significant increase in mpg. This is just a rough test and I actually plan on doing a freeway test today if I end up going back out. The test will be a 20 mile approx test but I will have more exact numbers when I do it. Let me know if anyone else attempts this or tries this out on the freeway. The truck:

Hm the only think I notice really is my truck has a super hard time shifting. I have a 3" lift on it and I didn't drop the drive shaft. Do you think that could be the culprit?

Thats what I was thinking but people are saying they feather the gas to keep it in v4.... not really sure having to feather the gas every acceleration would be worth it. Im excited to see some numbers lol

Why would it have an effect wallet wise?

Looks like great increase! Heres the next question: Is there any negative effect of leaving the tow haul on?

Hm Im going to give it a shot tomorrow and see what happens. Id guess that it would actually decrease gas milage because its keeping shift points higher and therefor rpm higher plus sporty=more responsive=more torque=more gas but i could completely be wrong. Has anyone else noticed any increase in mpg at all?

What did you notice mpg wise?

This is awesome I'm going to ha e to try it today. So question... If this is so much better then why doesn't GM just factory have their trucks tuned to something similar if its increasing torque, decreasing wear, and increasing mpg? Does anyone have any solid numbers on mpg?

Hey guys thought id throw this into the ring its a 3" leveling lift. I love it so far. Anything I should know? Also thinking of painting all the chrome glossy black
