Welcome, and nice truck. I really like those 01-02 HD front ends. Do you plan on modding?

Makes the truck heavier... I don't like the look but I'm sure parts on my truck are considered ugly by some so it's all good.

so far the only calculation i've done got me about 14.5mpg combined city/highway. straight highway seems to put me around 20mpg i think...city just kills it though

I'll put a bullet in my 4.8L if you can get an hoest 20mpg in that tank..

My 5.3L ECSC 4x4 only got a best of 16mpg stock. My buddy's 02' ECSB 2500HD 6.0L only gets 11.5mpg.

Don't forget a Canadian gallon is larger than an American gallon. So 20 = 16.6 per American gallon and 14.5 = 12.1 per American gallon. Make more sense now?

Are you serious? I knew they sold it by the Liter but why would a gallon be different?
