What's the occasion? I would have guessed you'd break 10mpg with the higher gears.

Delivering it to the new owner.

i wish it would break 10mpg! This is a C7 truck. I would really like to see someone put an 8.3 cummins in one of the 3116 trucks. Would break 10 mpg for sure.

Selling it already, what are you buying next?

 

[wehring]

I have more than 1 C7 truck. This is not my personal truck that is in my modification thread.

Small world. I arrived in Denver yesterday also. No, I am not the one buying the LMTV but sure would enjoy seeing it!

Try keeping it at 40 - 45 mph around 1500 rpm, (I know its bit slow travel from route) but see if you can get 10 mpg

 

[wehring]

Nouns.... I am sure I could not drive 45mph long enough to get an MPG data point and stay awake!! You volunteering your time for the cause?? ��

A picture, or two, or three would be nice though

I got a 927a2 rated about 6 mpg at 2k rpm at 55 mph. And I can get 8 mpg at 45mph 1500 rpm, I think carnac said once, it is not how fast you get there, it is how cool you get there. I would volunteer if you were in Florida...
