MPG: 6.2 with 8 speed


Recommended Posts

My average is 18mpg since I got it. Fairly even mix of city and highway.

We are neighbors!

What octane do you use?

I use 93. I also just realized this may be pretty important to your question so I added this to my original post: "EDIT: I should also add that I use the remote start everyday. The truck is usually idling for 5-10 minutes before I get in and start going so my average might be a tad lower than it could be."

DIC has me at 16.3 from the first day I got it ( Jan 2nd ), 1700 miles so far. My current tank is at 19.3. I hand calc'd the first few tanks and DIC was within about .2mpg so should be pretty accurate.

Oh, me too!

 

Cinco Ranch. I just put Houston, because I figure most people on a nationwide forum won't know where Katy is.

I'm actually in Brookshire, I put Katy because... Well, for several reasons LOL. Willow Creek Farms

Nice looking truck you have there.... I have a Sonoma Red Denali on order. I notice you have a cat back exhaust from Gibson in your sig. How does that sound in V4 mode? Or do you have that disabled in the tune?

Rolling down a mountain in neutral??? Lol

You got me! Mt. Lemmon, Tucson, AZ. Nearly 30 miles, not in neutral (too steep to be safe).

Thanks. I bought it site unseen. They did a dealer trade from eastern Wisconsin.

I really like the Gibson exhaust, all stainless and very reasonably priced, I had the single catback on my old truck and that one was a direct bolt on but with the dual sport one hanger had to be bent up a little to clear the first frame cross member. They both sound really good, nice rumble to them but there is a big difference in sound volume between the 2 and if I had too do it again I would probably go with the single catback. V4 mode isn't bad sounding, but noticeable. People here say it best, kind of a helicopter sound. I really don't mind it, it's not too loud. I do have the V4 tuned out though it's because most of my driving is in town so it switches between V4 and V8 a lot and that got too annoying.

    • For 2 years doing repairs or maintenance has not easy with my physical issues. Something simple isn't simple any more.      Sept. 6 2024 left shoulder 2 rotator cuff tears, bicep torn from bone. Still having issues, pain and dexterity problems left hand. Go to have EMG test on the 27th, second test. I'm left handed.   Oct. 3rd 2025 right hand carpal tunnel surgery and ulnar nerve,  end of 3 fingers still lack good feeling. Makes it difficult to do things.   March 3rd 2026, Cervical fusion, 4 vertebrae. Still have pain in neck and upper back.    I put upgraded shocks on our side by side, not hard but it took me over 2 hours. Oil changes are frustrating because nothing works like it used to.

    • I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself. 
    • I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps
