I think everyone here is getting way off track here.

The question I asked was.....Did any one else have the same problem,....was getting approx 22 mpg

and then took it in for a recall and NOW get's 14 mpg.

ANYWAY

GM saw the post and is going to look into it deeper.,I will post what they come up with.

(P.S. I brought this to GM's attention before and they blew me off!!!!)

 

Hello schultzy1957,

 

I have located your previous case. Have you been to your dealership since you had the recall completed? I would be happy to set this up for you. Just send up a PM if this is something you would like us to help you set up.

I think if I was a salesmen I would research the products I would be selling. I wouldn't like it if a customer came in knowing more than me.

Mine gets pretty bad mileage at 180 mph. Maybe I should get a bed cover.

This was taken last week when I filled up. So far I have put this many miles on the truck. Hopefully it stays like this. We will see.

Hello,

 

I am the proud owner of a brand new 2014 Chevy Silverado! I just brought my truck home for the first time Friday night (6 Nov). when I drove it of the lot my truck had only 3 miles on the odometer. Once filled up with fuel the range indicated that I could drive 200 miles...I chalked it up to being brand new and figured it was because it is the first full gas tank it has ever had. However, I am already down between the Half and quarter tank marks and have driven only 140 miles! What's really going on? Did anybody have this experience with their first tank of gas? Does it get better? I have the 5.3L V8 ECOTEC3 and the 3.08 Ratio. My window sticker says I should get 470 miles on a full tank...does anybody else get this? Thank you everybody in advance! I look forward to your feed back!

Gas mileage should increase dramatically by 500-1000 miles. It'll probably continue to increase slightly up until 5,000 miles.
The first few tanks are in no way representative of what you'll be getting after the engine breaks in and the computer has calibrated the engine, transmission, etc.

Wandern, thanks for the reply! I hope you are right. I'll keep folks posted with my experience. Maybe I will start a new thread about it and keep a log for people to track with me. This is the first new vehicle I ever bought!

That's pretty bizarre. From day 1 I've been getting 450-500 or more miles per tank, and I'm at 12,000 miles now. Do you spend a lot of time idling or warming up using remote start? Even with nothing but around town I would expect 16x25=400 miles per tank.

Update:

It is now 4:30 PM Monday, My e-mail from GM last week said I would hear from my dealership and that GM would get back to me on Friday.....YES 3 days ago...Guess what ???? That Never Happened. And Neither did a call come from the dealership.

Got an E-mail from GM ( this morning) asking ALL the same questions from a week ago!!!!!!! (Different person)

Any Body have a NAME or a PHONE ext. number for someone at GM who MIGHT REALLY CARE ????

Cause I am thinking they just put it here on this forum to look like they do.

Dealership today told me I have to give it at least 3500 to 5000 miles before I see true gas mileage. They said it's not broke in...

I was told the same thing and now that I'm around 4000 miles I'm seeing better fuel milage. I average about 19 mpg now with a 50/50 city and highway. Can't complain. Mine also came with the update so that might affect it.

It does take several thousand miles for the engine to break in completely, until then the mileage will be done some.

Well I fueled up today! 283 miles to the tank. And i was sweating bullets because I thought I wasn't going to make it to the gas station! The truck took 21 gallons. So some quick math tells me I was getting between 14 and 15 miles to the gallon...I think. But what I'm confused about now is why do I have a 21 gallon tank and not 26 gallon tank? My owners manual says it should have 26 gallon tank. It does not even show 21 gallon as an option.

That kinda sucks. Was your low fuel light on? Mine comes on with about 2-3 gallons left, so my fill ups are always about 24 gallons, 450-500 miles to a tank. I've been getting this mileage from day one.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
