I only passed to State troopers at that speed and they did not look twice at me! I had it to 20.2 when I looked at it the first time and started up a hill so I thought that I better get a picture or no one would belive me. Over the life of this truck the Ave. number is a tenth or so lower that what I get when I hand figure it. I know here in a couple of weeks I will be showing you some really low numbers. I am going to get the sail and when it was empty I only got 8.8 mpg and it will be loaded this time!! :jester:

 

 

Nice, anything over 15 mpg is a fantasy for me. On the way to GA a couple weeks ago I passed 6 FHP doing 80, thankfully they didn't seem to have any interest in me. Still jealous of that 20 mpg lol :(

80 is pretty much legal here, I've never heard of anyone getting stopped doing 80. I used to only drive 70, because any faster my mileage would drop like a rock. But with the Coopers I can drive 75-80 and still pull down 18 mpg. Don't listen when people say 10 ply tires will hurt your mileage. :)

When I first got the truck like 6 years ago. I loved that new truck smell. I've put 140,000km+ on since then.

I am unwilling to make it a matter of record how fast I tend to drive on the very lightly patrolled Michigan highways. :lol:

You guys need to see some of the speeds in Phoenix!!! Speed limit on the 17 is 65 and at 80 it was like I was up on bricks!! I just set the cruise at 80 and let them cuss the guy with out of state tags. :jester:

Hard to hurt my mileage seeing as how the only way I can get 15mpg is doing 55. @ 70 I get about 13 if I'm lucky. I get just about as good mileage on back roads as I do on the highway.

Try Atlanta. 90-110 and still have the possibility of being passed.

in Maryland I travel rt. 95 and outsiders run the speed limit which is 55-65. So I run 85-90 and I'm sure they curse at me! Haha but have to make a 70mile one way commute fun somehow. Might as well fly! Haha

If you don't mind me asking Red, what's on the dry erase board next to the truck? Looks like a whole lotta somethin', I just can't tell what.

I write down my weights lbs and number of sets, pull-ups, push-ups, calories burned during cardio etc. Before I torn a rotator cuff (march 27) I was at 270 pushups in under 14 minutes. I was hoping the hit 300 in 15 minutes by July. I have another six weeks of rehab before I can start lifting again. At 55 I have to keep telling myself... I'm not 25 anymore :(

 

Old pic before the board filled up.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
