I can't figure out why GM hasn't come up with a revised 3/4ton gas engine package, the 6.2 they stick in half's blow away the 6.0, I wish I could have gotten a 6.2 but couldn't afford all the other upgrades they stick you with. Honestly with the exception of towing my truck never "works" its a over waxed over cleaned toy and the prize of the driveway, if I didn't tow I'd have a Tahoe.

I get 17-18 average as well, but diesel obviously costs more. lol If I was deleted I would gain 2-3 MPG they say. Something I plan to do, it just has not been a priority for me. The longer I wait the more I regret waiting. Also no emersions in my county! EFI Live + Exhaust ~ 1,000$. My old LB7 Duramax would get 24 on a flat highway all day.

I tow allot, and while towing 10K I bet my truck would get 5-8 MPG better than your old 1/2 ton. Not sure about the new ones do on fuel under load... HD trucks hold their value a little better then 1/2 tons IMO as well, and the diesel option obviously just adds to that.

with my 05 I would get 10 mpg towing the 303, thruway, the little bit i did with the 14 its was about the same, but more comfortable and truck was much happier,

Hey thanks guys!! I bought the wheel from Diamond Performance and the cup holder, 292 Fastech logo from Formula boats of Missouri. My cup holders pop right out they had double face tape on them.
