My DD is a pick up. Its an 08 Silverado 4.3 WT. Pretty happy with it but its a shame the little engine gets worse MPG's than the V8's I understand lots of factors involved. Couldn't afford the LS V8's so moot point.
I have yet (but I will !) get 20 MPG in the silly thing.
I am sure your web site will help ! Not interested in driving in any way that may upset or endanger anyone else.
So my first step is;
* Synthetic oil and I hope it helps but wont be upset if it does'nt.
*Looking at my mirrors and thinking 
*Thinking about a bed cover/canopy mod (went through 27 pages of that canopy thread *awesome*)
My truck sits azz high and have heard that lowering it to level has helped
others?
Wouldn't mind turbocharging someday, have heard the fuel economy is there
if you can keep your foot out of it.
Have lots of questions but I'll save them till I've searched more. |
Dang, those trucks sit high... looks 4-6 inches taller than my '03.
When you wear down your tires, look at ditching the steelies and getting some smoother, lighter, aluminum wheels. Lots of stock take offs that you can find on craigslist cheap, usually with tires.
Slow down. Buy an Ultragauge.
I also coast in Neutral which seems to help.
