Anyone have a 2500 silverado? I have 8.1L questions
Does anyone have the 2500 chevy silverado with the 496/8.1L motor?
How do you like it?
How does it do on gas?
Thanks
I am looking to get a lifted one right now... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hey
Welcome to the site. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
There are a few guys around here with the 8.1L. It might take a while for them to chime in though since they don't post a whole lot.
There was some discussion a while back about gas mileage if you want to try a search. I think some of the 8.1L guys replied.
I think most of them REALLY like the 8.1 though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I edited the topic name so some of the 8.1L guys might check in faster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

As to the engine, what is there left to say about a born again "Rat", love it, sure has the ponies. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Two 8.1s here -
Supercharged 8.1 Suburban - 11-12 for city/highway driving
8.1 Silverado HD - 6" lift and 35" tires - 8-9 for city/highway driving.
I don't do alot of highway only driving unless I'm pulling a trailer. Mileage for both vehicles then goes down to about 7.5.

So it may soon be $2 for every 10 miles you drive ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

8.1 4x4ccswb 46,000 miles avg.9.7 city highway some towing 28ft car hauler.I have to mention average oil-burning 1qt. ever 900 miles in town a little less on freeway.Also more noise on start-up than my ls1 ever made.If these issues dont bother you go for it,I recommend Dmax.

2002 8.1 4x4 allison tranny, 34" tires, no lift. I pull a 3500 pound trailer for the majority of my miles and I get about 10mpg. I burn about a quart and a half of oil every 3000k miles. It has awsome low end and great pulling power but it's slower than a dead horse <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . I love the Dmax if you have the choice go with the Dmax it's a lot better motor imho.
