I put $98 in mine Wednesday. 12mpg is about the best I get. Occasionally I'll get close to 14mpg, but very seldom.

12 is the highest I've seen since early January. The last time I saw over 12.x was last August on a road trip. Typically 11's, some 10's, occasional 9's, and RARELY 8's....

If I'm just driving around town, I get no better than 9mpg.

I average around 15 but I don’t baby it either. My best over 50 miles is 25.3

T, are you in that same Sierra you had a while back?

I have a company F250, and we haven't even touched the 5th wheel in a couple years, so I ditched the setup. Half tons are so comfy! I really missed having one.

This time, I made sure I got the 6.2, just in case we get a wild hair to get another trailer, like I did back when I had that blue 2007 with the 5.3

Nope. I’m in a 6.2 High Country.

I went with Cognito CA’s, Eibach coilovers for about 2.5” of level and then a 1” block in the rear. I also swapped out the half axles up front for the Trail Boss version. They’re slightly longer and keep the CV’s at a better angle.

Borla touring exhaust and then the Kicker sub GM offers but added a bass knob. Sounds amazing.

Sitting on 295/55/22 Nitto’s. They’re 34.7” and I added a 1/2” wheel spacer. Sits perfect and rides better than it did stock, by far.

Oh, and that’s my gem of a 67 c-30 dump truck. It has 67k miles on it but about 200 years of rust.

It’s cool as shit looking though. I put two 8” subs under the seat with an amp and two kick panel 6.5” 2-ways with their own amp.

Rebuilt all the door seals, window seals, regulators, handles, etc. I take it to Friday Night on The Square, here in town on occasion. It has strobes, a backup beeper, a stock 283 that’s got a little lope to it. It sounds better than it runs… might hit 60 with the RPM’s pegged.
