Drove to the casino. Pulled 18.6 MPG. 145 miles round trip. Like 10 city and 30 mountain. On the highway set the cruise to 55. In the mountains it was constant accel then brake for a hard corner and repeat. I don't know how I feel knowing my truck can do this on the highway and only get 11-12 in town

I was given like $35 for driving. $20 cash and my friend and his dad bought my buffet. They know my engine is bigger than his 03 Z71. I used $28.78 in gas there and back so I came out on top. None of us expected the 18.6 MPG

Was out at 4:30am and planned on letting the truck warm up before heading into work in the snow and ice........DEAD BATTERY!!!!!

The battery in my 2010 took a crap, "start vehicle battery low"......Tried to start, no go.....Battery showing 7Volts. What a piece of crap.

 

My 2008 fired right up, still on the factory battery! Going to have to see if they are different when I get home this afternoon.

Some are better than others. The orginal battery in my truck lasted 4.5 years. The replacement I put in before I moved to florida lasted 1.5, red top lasted 3 yrs, 3 days(pissed me off because it went bad 3 days after the warranty expired), my yellow top has been in for 2 months so far

Going to grab a Deka (9A48) from the maintenance garage after work.....Never had one before but they seem to work pretty good in our work vehicles with all the electrical equipment in the vehicles.

Nailed a deer on I135 somewhere between salina and wichita ks. Was goin about 80 and it impacted my truck just in front of the drivers side rear tire. Cracked my fender flare and dented the body under the fuel door. No major damage though

I've had a few close calls on that piece of highway. Glad it didn't do much damage.

Drove it for the first time in 2 weeks to work due to impending snow on Friday. Glad I did because it started an hour before I left...gotta love living in the 'south' where people don't know what snow is or how to drive in it. It took me 3 hours to drive 25 miles all on the highway. Found out the Transforce HT tires are crap in snow too.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
