Just did a 2200 mile round trip from New Hampshire to North Carolina round trip  with my 2020 trail boss 5.3. I put a factory front air dam on for the trip since these trucks are awful on the highway to see if it would help and I was surprised to average 18.8 mpg overall and at one point had my 50 mile average to 24.8 mpg at one point in Virginia with driving a lot at 80-85 mph. So the air dam is definitely worth something g

I put one on mine and even with a level, 34" tires and only 2500 miles on the 6.2 I am getting 23-24 MPG @ 60-65MPH. I like the look of it better too.

Man I run up and down 41 from Milwaukee to Green Bay, cruise set at 78 and the best I can get is 18. That’s a stock 21 RST 6.2 10 speed with the car tires on it. Got 3600 miles, maybe needs to break in more.

Can you guys provide some pics?  I would definitely go this route to save some MPG's!

Look at any non Trail boss and you'll see the air dam.  It's under the front bumper.

Watch your speed in Virginia. 81 mph and over is reckless driving. They have a really solid law on this. In a nutshell, 20 over the posted limit, or more than 80 mph is an automatic reckless and they can impound your car.

As for your mpg, south of Richmond on I-85 is pretty much easy cruising downhill. You have no trouble getting decent mpg there.

What was your mileage before adding the air dam?

^This.  I moved to NC from NH, and got pegged in VA.  A court appearance is also required (had to hire a lawyer).  Radar detectors are illegal.  VA considers speeding tickets a state revenue source.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
