I think I’d go broke putting 2500 miles a month on my 6.0.lol

I filled up in MD or VA where gas was 30-40 cents cheaper than PA.  I had a 50mpg 5speed commuter car that I loaned to my mom for reasons.  She lives in Baltimore City and uses public trans for the past 7 years.

It's new temporary home in texas.  Washed, waxed, and polished and it provided cover for a furry creature.  Also a pic of me loaded down prior to the drive from PA to TX.

Does anyone know the GM part number for these wheels?

It's like that from the factory. You could do vinyl as well.

Hello everyone, new member here but I`ve used the forums for tons of information in the past but I`ve finally made an account. I bought a 2015 GMC 2500hd duramax base model new, I`ve done few upgrades haven`t deleted yet but planning soon. as for upgrades 18" ION with 33` toyo M/T`s, backrack that I modified a bit to suit me better, 30" rigid sr behind the grill, flushmount rigids in the rear bumper to help back up at night, morimoto LED headlights, this picture i still had the 4 PIAA cubs as fogs but I've since made some brackets and moved them to the hood by the wiperblades and put some different led cubes in the bumper. I'll put some updated pictures when I take them

How do you like the 6.0 with the fifth wheel? I have the 6.0 with a travel trailer and the mileage kills me on the highway.

The '16 before the '17. Same bumper. Could have gotten used to it, but missed the creature comforts that the Sierra didn't have. Steering wheel radio adjustments, satellite radio, but I loved the 8 foot bed.

Tows awesome. Haven't gone on long trip yet, but I expect same mileage as my travel trailer. I averaged 9 MPG with travel trailer, depending on wind/terrain. Last year was uphill in headwind, so I got about 7 for 200 miles...

 

At the end of the day, the 14-15 MPG I'd get with a diesel just doesn't justify the upfront and maintenance expense to me. Even as a daily driver, too wit I average 12-13MPG daily, no dice for a diesel. The gasser is a screamer, but she does a fine job with this unit. If you're looking over the 11-12k mark, go diesel.

Good to hear. My last long trip with a travel trailer I averaged a tick over 7 mpg for 2000 miles.

Thought I'd throw up a few very recent photos that show the truck stock with the aluminum wheels and after I installed the 18" steel work truck wheels that I painted black.  I installed factory center caps and new General Grabber ATx tires in the stock size 265/70 R18 - E.  Love the look and the tires so far.  Can't wait to see how they do in the Michigan winter snow.  The stock Michelins are great for summer pulling our travel trailer but wasn't even going to try them in the snow so instead of swapping tires on the aluminum wheels twice per year I went this route.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
