I just had the transfer case recall reprogram done...I went from 15.3 mpg city and 21 mpg highway to 12.3 mpg city and 18 mpg highway.

My average is 20.6 mph right now. I drive 48 miles to work one way, roughly 50% back roads, 30% highway and 20% city. That's not bad considering my car averages around 25 mph on the same trip.

 

And i drive over a pretty descent mountain range in the process.

Mine went down 2-3 MPG as well after the TC and Peek downloads. I think it is gradually getting better, but cold mornings are not helping. The just wait for winter blend gas, it is a 3 MPG drop.

I haven't read this whole thread. Just picked up my 2014 SLT last week. How long/miles does it take to gauge my true MPG? I have taken two 50 mile trips and driven to and from work (3 miles one way) mostly. It has gone form 17 MPG down to 15 MPG.

added a diablew tune, getting crazy good mpg in my 6.2l now. averaging like 18-19.5 city and 22 at 70mph.

Is it a custom tune or are you just running the economy tune?

 

After reading this post I'm definitely ordering my tuner this weekend.

custom tune. best money i've ever spent on a vehicle including tint, intake, exhaust, and radio upgrades. i'll never drive a vehicle without a custom tune.

Keep in mind also that the refineries are now starting to put out the winterblend of fuel which will hurt the fuel economy as well.

I've just taken a 2400 mile trip from Houston, Texas to Breckenridge, Colorado and back. My maximum speed was 70 mph. My overall fuel economy (hand calculated) was 20.14 mpg (My poorest tank average was 17.9; my best was 22.45). I used premium fuel with octane ratings between 90 and 93 (locations have different ratings for premium fuel). My truck's starting mileage was slightly over 15,000 miles. I now have two long trip averages for the truck. Empty, at 70 mph, slightly better than 20 mpg. Pulling my 6,100 lb trailer on a 6,700 mile trip, 11.6 mpg overall average. My vehicle specifics are: 2014 Silverado LTZ, 6.2 / Max Tow w/Trailer Mirrors. Good luck in your travels.

I just did a higway trip, about 150 miles cruising ~78mph, BEST I could get was 20.9, average was 20.4. This is on a '14 5.3 w 3.08s.

 

:dunno:

 

Truck gets 18.9 effortlessly in the city. Yet barely peaks 20mpg on the interstate.

Wind drag is a killer, I went down to 72 and got almost 22MPG on 93 fuel. I have 342 gears. In the 75 MPH zone I get 20. I get 18 MPG on E85 at 70.

Hey fellas, I have noticed a pretty significant mileage drop on my 2014 Crew 5.3 3.42 pick up. I drive about 30 miles/day 99% freeway. When I first got the truck I was averaging anywhere between 20-21 daily, however just in the past couple of weeks my mileage has significantly decreased and am now averaging anwhere from 15-16.5. My driving habits have not changed and I am not using the remote start or idling for any length of time.

 

Any idea what could be causing the change? Should I just take it to the dealer?

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
