I believe from my limited experience with this setup that in real world settings these trucks will never see what they are advertised and prompted to do. They told me that on the interstate they would run in V4 mode at speed limit, well I know of no interstate highway that it is even safe to run 58 mph continues for this thing to work. The worst readings in mpg 25 so far is 13.2. So far real world is between 15 & 16 mpg overall average. I could do this good with a Dodge. Good bye Chevy truck.

Is the truck stock, what tires, etc?

 

A lot can play into mpgs.

​I didn't say anything about trading, I stopped payment on the 14K down payment and said fix it or keep it don't care which one.

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.

That's a MPG hit with AT tires. How about the airdam, installed still? Did the dealer verify it's not tuned as well?

Are you 16? Lol, you spazed out at them? Have an adult conversation and work out a plan.

Stock size AT shouldn't cause that hit. I run large than stock 10 ply LT AT tires and using regular 87 octane I can easily get 18mpg going 70mph on the freeway. If I go a little slower and baby it I can squeeze out about 19mpg. My AFM/v4 mode will kick on and off up into the low 70's on flat ground as long as my truck in not loaded up with extra weight.

 

Something is not right with his truck, he should be getting better than that if it's all stock. Lots of guy on here claim 20+mpg. His dealer shouldn't be claiming it's just normal.

Yeah, I realize that. I'm just trying to help and see where the MPGs are getting hit. You'll never see sticker highway mpgs with AT tires (unless you're coasting downhill)

No I'm 52 and spazed was a nice way to put it, I raised mortal hell right at the verge of server violence. I have an extremely low tolerance for bullshit and don't appreciate when a business tries to treat me like a moron. They quit ****ing when I stopped payment on the 14K down payment check.

How's that for a plan. I now have their complete and undivided attention and now they are well aware that they can keep it or fix it, preferably keep it because they already said they are all like that.

What size are those tires because if they are 10 ply tires that could pretty much explain the difference, depending on the size...

 

I know you said "Factory size" But what size are the tires specifically.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
