The trip odometer that I have never reset in my 2016 2500HD 6.0 says 11.3 lifetime mpg for about 26,000 miles. Some towing, lots of short trips.

Out here on the west coast the prices for late model 2500hd gassers is crazy. The local Chevy dealer has called/emailed at least three times in the last few months trying to get me to trade mine in or offering to buy it outright. It serves me perfectly so I am keeping it. I wish you the best in your search, though. If your teenage daughter is a horse girl you have a huge part of life's struggles well under control! One of the best investments I ever made was a horse for my girl.

I do that sometimes on the beach way up in the dry sand. Well, I don't get out but I use the 1 position in low range. My trotting days are long past.

If I pull the lever down to the 1 position at any speed on my 2016 gasser it will shift to the lowest allowable gear for the speed/rpm and hold that gear. (I say any speed, but I have only tried it at speeds less than 45 mph. It downshifts quickly.) The manual shift buttons do not work with it the 1 position. If I start out from a stop with it at 1 it stays in first gear all the way to rev limiter and does not shift. I can't seem to find anything about the 1 position in my owners manual either. There is a paragraph or so for each of the other shift lever positions but not the 1. The only time I have used the 1 spot is on the beach when in 4WD Low and I want to idle along through the loose sand. I seem to recall there was another thread about this topic a couple years back and it got pretty much the same replies as this one.

I thought the same thing the first time I used 4H on the road in my 2016 Chev 2500HD 6.0. I asked the dealer shop about it and they said it was normal. It took a while to accept it as normal but I am used to it now and nothing has busted so I guess it is OK. My Fords, Jeeps and Dodges sure didn't whine like that. I also have a low speed rotational noise they either say is normal or that they can't hear it. The only time I notice it is in a quiet parking lot or, oddly enough, driving around the local dealer's lot to get to the service department. They can't hear it all the time though. I quit worrying about that one, too. Other than that, I must say I am very pleased with this truck. I still comment to the GF every so often about how good of a truck we got. It is comfortable, plenty powerful, tows the boat really well, and looks pretty good. It also has a good stereo so I don't have to listen to the drivetrain noises!

I have sensed a little wandering at speeds over 60 and am not sure yet if it is real or imagined. My girlfriend has driven the truck and does not think there is a problem. Also, my other car is a C7 Corvette which has very responsive steering so maybe I am exaggerating the difference between the two and if I had not been following this thread I wouldn't even think I had a problem with the truck. I just had the second free service done at about 10k miles. I mentioned to the service desk that I thought the truck was wandering and asked them to look for anything obvious. You can see by the picture how seriously they took it. It does not do a lot to build the faith in my dealer!

Thank you for the info, I did not know that. The little N is not too easy to see before the light comes on.

Wow. Way to represent the brand.
