Hi folks, my '07 2500HD with the 6.0L gas had gotten down to 6.0 MPg according to both the trip computer and back of the receipt calcs. Towing OR unloaded!
I get it... The 6.0 isn't purchased for mileage, but 6mpg was something wrong.
2 weeks ago I had my mechanic install a cold air intake kit and do a full tune up with new plugs and wires. That got me up to 7.5 MPG.
While towing home from last weekends trip to lake Sebago, the truck finally threw a check engine light.
I brought it in, and when they pulled the codes, they found some serious computer problems.
So, they did a crank relearn. Unloaded on a nice 55 mph state route last night I saw 15 mpg! The crank relearn doubled my mileage.
Labor Day is my next tow with the camper. I'm hoping for 10 while towing.
