Here's what Chevyboy86 posted in one of my threads before:

 

"I get what nota member is sayin too. Lifts/trucks and MPG don't go together. If you run bigger tires say good bye to ur fuel mileage doesn't matter what you do. You are driving a land yacht...I've never complained about fuel economy with a truck, it is what it is..."

 

And he is completely true...

You are right!! I like the OP in here so I give my $.02 usually talking about lifted trucks and MPG gives me a headache lol. We're talkin about 13-14 MPG here ahahahaha what a joke

Yeah if you want fuel economy(18 hwy), better response, and better handling, have I got the mod for you. It's called "265's". :jester:

But wait, that's stock haha

 

And if you want better handling, get polyurethane bushings. But that's a different topic for another day

6.2L are kinda pricey, at least the ones I have seen. Get the cheaper 6.0 and do some performance upgrades to it to make the same power as a 6.2L, but for almost half the cost. But I'm also stuck with my 02, and comparing prices between a used LQ9 and used 6.2L (whatever the production code for those are)

 

And Blackout, your truck looks rediculously tall in your sig pic. I wish mine looked like it was that tall haha

It's all in the camera angle.. But it is tall. 50+" fenders.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
