Thank You Big Whiskey,

Really like the 1500 mpg, but somehow feel it is inevitable I will buy a 2500.  Then, having to decide on gas or diesel.

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 crew cab 4x4 with the 6.0L gasser. My truck is a basic work truck with torsion bars cranked, 20x10 Fuel wheels with 285/60/20 Falken Wildpeak AT3's and a Magnaflow cat-back. My truck weighs in right at 7,070lbs empty with me in it (I weigh 230lbs) and 1/2 tank of fuel. With my mixed highway and city driving, I get a solid 12.3mpg all day long. Pulling my 6,200lb travel trailer, I average about 8-10mpg. So I am on par with everyone else. 

 

That said... this thing rides like a truck. Its rough. Not smooth at all. But it has power, sounds great and is built like a tank. It also handles well honestly.

Average for me around town and highway is 11. Towing 10k to 12k pounds around 6. I always seem to pick trucks that hgey less than buddy's that have the same thing. I don't have a heavy foot either.

My 07 2500HD gasser with 4.11 rear gears got no better than 14 Hy and 10 City with towing my 6k TT 9-10. My new 17 2500 duramax gets as much as 24HY and 13 City and 11 to 12 towing my new 8k TT.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
