So what are you getting?
What mods have you made?
With a steel deck and 2 sleds(Phazer and 550 poo both fans) 4.10 gears,auto.,k&n,265/75/16 tires, Stock other than the k&n, I'm getting about 11 miles to the gallon hwy. Need to get it up a little more.

Im assuming you have a gas job and 11 mpg is not good i get 18 empty and 12 with 7000lb trailer, chip intake and exhaust

2004 2500 HD with the 6.0 got 13 last time we checked. K&N intake. We were also pulling two sleds on a triton two place WITH salt guards. They likely make a huge difference as we found out when we used to pull with an S10

Forgot to tell ya that im looking at getting headers too just for a little bit more juice and flow, but look into getting your cat deleted if you know any compan that tunes vehicle computers.....light speed innovations in red deer....then you can have ultimate power and milage.

My truck empty with 4.10 gears i get 16-17 mpg .Through the mountains with Holiday trailer about 11-12

yup Chev 6L gasser, It's a 2500 non HD so it has the auto T-case which will make a difference. It's also a 2000 with 140,000 k's

slednek · 03-02-2009, 09:53 AM

16 empty and 10 -11 pulling 6500lb travel trailer. 12-13 with a 2 place and 1 in the box.

I had the exact same set up with almost 200,000K and was pulling waaaay better numbers . 16-18! One thing I noticed years ago though was pulling the trailer at a buck twenty you could literally see the gas gauge moving. Slowing down to 100 or 110 nearly doubled the mileage.

Course now I drive an 07 350 Harley and no comparison (diesels the only way!!)

I get 12+ with a m1000 and m8 on steel deck.It all depends on how ya driver er. usally above speed limit.Just about 300 kms on er.5 speed helps.

sledneck48 · 03-06-2009, 10:01 PM

Mines got no upgrades and id be lucky to get 10 in the city and 12 on the highway.
