I get 13 mpg with my 06 6L. Doesn't seem to matter how I drive it. On a side note, does anyone else have a engine "whine" at low rpm kinnda like the power steering pump maybe? I can't figure it out. Thought it was maybe the charging system but that all checked out. Had a bad idler wheel on the AC belt, changed it, noise still there. Could it be the fan?? Doesn't really sound like the power steering pump but I flushed the fluid anyway, noise still there. truck has 105,000 km on it now.

I have never touched the coil packs, they are probably still stock ones. Wires, plugs, air filter, good oil and changing to a better oil filter after reading another thread on here. Ran a couple things of injector cleaner through it, and used seafoam this summer on it. The 10ply BFG All Terrains arent lite but are gonna stay on there. I dont know if cold air intakes on gassers make a difference but hey are over $300 so leaning towards not getting one.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: 6 litre fuel mileage. a friend of mine had a 04 or 05 chevy with a 5.3 and his did that no matter what.. we replaced all kinds of stuff including the power steering pump and it didnt solve the problem... when he sold it a week later and then the a/c pump went . im not sure if that was the cause of the whine though.. kinda almost had a root's style s/c whine to it off idle though lol
