Default 405.3 miles and then....

you walk.

04 Silverado 1500 rcsb. Yup...I tried to make it make 400 miles, then after I hit 400 there were no gas stations! The truck was nice enough to coast to within 1/4 mile of one though.

learned that awhile ago. Tried it but she just wouldnt fire. I figured for sure it would at least fire for 15-20 seconds enough to coast me to the station but it was a no go.

the story is actually funnier. It happened on the way home from dinner on a 1st time date. d'oh! Shes like "oh, the truck ran outta gas trick huh?" and in reply (take your shots when you can) I said...Yup, sure is. I then got my kiss on. lol. Then we walked to the gas station together. How romantic huh?

Hope your pump didnt get too badly damaged, that was the #1 cause of fried pumps when these trucks 1st came out.
