My mileage in the Silvy was all over the place on this last trip. 22 when I wasn't expecting it to be that high.. 18 when I was expecting it to be higher.
Gotta find the happy spot in the power band, lol

I've been knocked down drug out and left for dead
My 6.0 seems to do it's best between 70-80 at around 2400rpm. Accompany that with a few short trips here in town and I'll average 14-15mpg a tank in the summer, not much better than 11-12 in the winter though.
Went to Portland, cruise set at 68, and got 21. Damn good over a mountain pass. Now that the engine is broke in, I am getting better mileage to compensate for those heavy ass, wide tires, and the level kit. That knocked 2 off.
I towed 8K back home (trip from hell, blew 2 trailer tires) and got 11

Those are definitely some fat bastards! They look good, though i hadn't been thinking of going that wide on this truck..but now that I see you got a 305/55 on there...Mickey Thompson does make the MTZ in that size...and the answer is ALWAYS Mickey Thompson MTZ.

Nice! How wide are the 20" wheels?

pretty sure they're 8.5" wide...looking at those 12.5" tires on Scott's, i'd say that seems about right.
