    How to get better MPG, it sucks!

    09 CC 2500HD 4x4, I bought a new vin matched ecm $184, already have efi live $99 new vin license with about a 430rwhp tune, put a 4inch turbo back exhaust pulled off my 02 I traded in. Went from a pretty consistant 12.5-13mpg to 16.5-17mpg with only 3500miles on the truck. 315/75/16s I know...

    (07/22/09) - How many miles do you get out of a typical set of tires?

    Goodyear Silent Armors at work, they get drove hard lucky to get 10k out of them. At that point they start getting a lot of sidewall role and hydroplaneing bad. Cooper ATR's on my truck at about 17k now, will be ready for new ones at 20k, or before snow.

    6 cylinder commercial duramax

    That is why i was asking on here, all i remember reading about them was they are an inline 6. I have EFI Live, I might check in an EFI Live forum to see if anyone has ever tuned one. He doesn't want to go crazy, just wants a little more out of it.

    315/75/16- 09lmm

    Well considering the fact that the 09 came stock with chromed steel wheels 245/75/16's, there is no problem with clearances. Yes if you pack enough mud and rocks into any wheel it will possibly tear the rim up. If the truck came with alloy rims they would be 17's, half ton steel wheels are 17's...

    315/75/16- 09lmm

    i traded my 02 for a 09 crew cab short bed duramax. i was able to have both trucks in my garage at the time of trade, i wanted to keep my alloy rims and 315/75/16 cooper atr's and put them on my new truck. yes they are stock alloy rims from an 02 and the rims are too narrow for the tires but...

    6 cylinder commercial duramax

    there is a towing company in my local area which has 2 commercial duramax flatbeds. yes they have plenty of power and the owner loves them but can't or does not want to leave well enough alone. he used to have a duramax 2500hd and traded it for a 6 liter and is now wishing he never traded it...

    4BT

    Thanks for the info on the swap site. I don't have a 4BT yet and I just bought a 2000 2 door blazer with a 4.3 that is going to get the toyota axles. I still want to build the toyota with a 4BT, just lacking the motor, this will get the spare dana 60 and 14 bolt that I have.

    4BT

    6.2 and 6.5 are about the same physical size as a 350/305 which I have setting in the truck right now. It is tight, I'll have to set the motor back and modify the firewall or mess with the front clip and radiator to make enough room that I would be comfortable wheeling it, with motor movement...

    4BT

    I am building another truck, ext cab 94 toyota, sas either dana 60 or longfields in toy axles. Is anyone here running a 4BT to 700R4 or NV4500 combo in any vehicle? I would like the 4BT because of the lack of electronics, reliability, vibration does not bother me. I also considered a 6.2 or...

    couple questions

    x2 :iagree: I drove a reg cab 4x4, 98 454 and it is no comparison to the 8.1 that I used to own. Not that the previous owner hammered on the truck but 115k and towed plus it needs a wheel bearing, I think you can find better. 454 will get about the same mileage as a 496.
  11. 02ltduramax

    why did you buy a 496?

    I originally had an 01 extended cab, 8.1/allison. I bought the truck because I couldn't pass up the price and we were starting to take wheeling trips to PA, I needed a truck to tow with. I never had any problems with it but I wanted a Duramax so when I found one for the same price I bought the...
