36 gallons in the pig and 45 gallon transfer tank in the bed.  The diesel i had a 100 gallon transfer tank, plumbed into the filler neck. Not so with a gasser. 

 

My regular cab diesel just like a regular cab chevy diesel have 28 gallon tanks because of the def tank. 

 

So distance to empty towing or empty is still about the same gasser from past diesel. Without a in the bed tank.

I believe that all of the stressing about tariffs is a little premature and that the hysteria is fueled by people opposed to the President elect. The man is a master of negotiating and is likely playi

If you paid attention it’s about fair trade not automatic tariffs. As far an electric or emissions. The mandates will be eased up so technology can catch up. The new administration isn’t against elect

The US had the lowest inflation coming out of Covid of ANY of the G7 countries. It was a world wide  issue but go ahead and blame it one one person since it suits your politics rather than facts.

Speaking of CA... The other day there was a mention of the TMX oil pipeline going into service this past summer on The Dave Nemo Show. The intent was to get oil to Asian markets since Keystone had been halted.

 

Well in the months since the pipeline started operation, the owner said that 54% of the oil transloaded to tankers in Vancouver BC went to the US West Coast. They didn't specify which of the 3 states, but I'm sure some of that oil went to refineries in CA.

My first long tow hear for the winter in south Texas, mid on the gulf coast. About 1,600 miles 3 nights 4 days travel from up north so about 400 miles a day, avoiding interstate if possible, so secondary roads, speeds 55-66... Day 1 8.2mpg, day 2 8.4mpg, day 3 8.4mpg, day 4 nearing the coast and more wind, 7.7mpg. About 9,500lbs

 

I can see getting 6mpg on a bad day and odds are never hitting 10, but its a gasser, and gas has less energy per ounce than diesel so im ok with that. 

 

I just love the simplicity of no turbo and diesel related emissions stuff. The gasser is perfect for short stop and go trips, vs the diesel.

Thats very similar to what I get towing our Reflection 337rls. Typically 8.25 to 8.5 running just under 65 MPH in eighth gear. I lock out 9th and 10th to keep the engine in the 2000rpm area. I found that when I left it in Drive it would sometimes shift back and forth between the upper gears with no advantage to MPG. I tried locking just 10th also and found no advantage in MPG running with 9th enabled so I chose to lock them out and lower the number of shifts that net me nothing  when towing. I had the same exact truck in a 2021 with the 6 speed and I would lock 6th  gear out for this same reason.

Do you still have the little fuel tank like my 1500 Silverado?

With max tow package and 6.2 with 10 speed between Eastern Wa and Lake Havasu AZ I usually can pull off 8mpg at best (6 in the mts)with my 24' enclosed car hauler.

Makes for frequent stops indeed over 70mph though.

We are in a great place right now. We get to use our own eyes to see how 16-19 compared to 20-24 and now moving forward, we get to see how 25-28 compares. Again, using our own eyes.

Of course you mean 17-20 compared to 21 to 24.

The main problem with Keystone was that it was an environmental disaster waiting to happen. It was to carry heavy acidic tar sand oil. They actually have to add regular crude oil for it to even flow. All was going to be exported since no US refinery wanted to touch the stuff. The acidic goo would eventually corrode the pipeline and there would be leaks everywhere over time. I have no problem with pipelines...that one was just going to be a major problem with the US absorbing the risk for Canadian tar sand exports.

I let it do its thing, i dont use tow haul. In normal drive pending on resistance of speed/wind i can speed up a little then it will up shift and hold there, if it dont like it, it downshifts. 

     The transmission is smart, it wont let the motor lug or anything.

I am the CTO and CFO of a tech firm. My wealth has increased 5X to what it was from my previous 45 years of life for the last 3 years.

 

Yes...my own eyes! If you are in tech, you have seen the greatest expansion of wealth in the last 3 years in history. If you haven't, you either in a low paying nontech job or you didn't get a college education.

Me too after Tuesdays election. What’s really cool. Gas prices will go down, fighting will stop. And I won’t get taxed on unrealized capital gains. I couldn’t be happier.

Being a  electrical lineman, what looked good on paper/the computer, to those like an  engineer,, often times didnt always work in the real world. My line world, of having to build it, maintain it, put it back together after a storm, working on things hot looks a lot easier on paper than in the real world. 

 

 

Take a simple thing like ( delta ) what you first think of when reading it, is not the same as myself.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".
