Was able to fill the tank this morning to get a hint at the actual MPG, went just over 100 miles and filled at the same pump, resulted in 21.5 MPG. I don’t think that is a terrible starting point, EPA on a K2500 Diesel Automatic Pickup (closest thing EPA had to this vehicle stock) is 16, so that’s 37% more.
Yesterday had just a bit of time to work on the Suburban, got the very important cupholder modification installed. Started to pull of the fender flares, but they are bolted through the sides of the body, not just the fender liners, so I will have to rethink my approach on that as I will have holes to fill. Did manage to pull the front bumper license plate holder and cosmetic jut outs, not as good as a flush bumper but a starting point. (See picture)
I think I am going to start a thread in the aerodynamics subforum to discuss some of my new ideas for aero modifications, I will keep this thread for the actual build and non-aero modifications.
