I had a 2005 GMC crew cab 4wd with the complete Banks kit and cat removed. Truck had 285 tires. It would get 15.9 mixed daily driving . Highway mileage if you kept it under 70 would be 18.5 mpg. Towing a 24ft enclosed trailer at 70mph it would average 10.5 mpg. Drove it from new to 100k miles and wish I still had it. Have a new 6.2 Chevy and can not get over 14mpg empty. Jeff Wurl

have a 08, cat/egr/dpf delete, tow tune with EFI live, and just changed all the diff/transfer case fluids to amsoil, trip down to charlotte 2 weeks ago got 19.5 calculated, now it never seemed to do that well before the fluid change but not positive. Thats with 285 tires and a flush camper shell, had always heard about people getting in the 20 range and never got close before, but never done much non-tow driving either..also tune was done to correct for tire size.

And your tires came off a Schwinn or a Huffy.

06 LBZ bone stock. I see 15.5+ hwy and 10.5 towing 15,000 lbs on the digital dream meter. I changed the wheels up to the 17" that the new trucks are running but used tires that are near the OE size diameter for the truck so the digital meter could possibly be on par. I plan to do deletes and programmer so I will see how much change I get.
Love this truck.
