Default 2005 Chevy truck info

Has anyone got any mods that have helped with fuel economy? Exhaust, intake, chip, etc... I am not really interested in going fast just some things to help with the fuel economy and towing (to tow my mustang, LOL). Thanx ahead of time.

lxlaw, you can't beat a Wester's custom tune. You'll get noticable gains in power and eonomy. That with a cai and cat back will get you some reall good gains.

I suggest you get UPD air intake as well as HP-Tuning....the tuning helped my truck out significantly, I do 23mpg at 70mph.... Fuel economy also depends on how heavy your foot is on the accelerator...2005 silverados have electric fans, which adds some power to you engine...

Yeah i noticed yesterday that i had not looked under the hood of the truck, and when i did i noticed it had dual electrics and a mess load of room to work with. I had seen so many 5.3 trucks i didnt even bother looking under the hood of my new one. I got a black 4 door with 3.73's for towing. It runs awesome, but i havent got to tow with it yet.

Ride down there and let Allen tune it on his dyno. You won't regret it.
