I don't have much more gear than you, and I'd imagine my wheel/tire set up is lighter/less rolling resistance. 🤷‍♂️

It is all stock save for an Airraid intake tube. 3.42 gears, 265/70-16 tires. (Factory size) It does have 222K+ on the clock, but I maintain it. I'd love to just be able to pull a consistent 20 MPG out of week to week. It's not worth a lot, so I plan to just drive it until it dies/falls apart. Maybe some tuning would be worth it?

A tune will always be worth it.

That **** started here in the Carolina's... not the incest so much but the squat truck scene. Yes inbreeding may cause someone to put half a lift kit on their trucks.

Took the Tahoe up to Hermiston Oregon yesterday, about 3.5 hrs each way, tuned 8 cars and drove home. Averaged 18.9 mpg round trip and allot of that was 75-80mph not caring about fuel economy because I wanted to be home. Ended up being a 18 hour day for me tuning but made good money. Hoping to drop my hd hood off at my buddies shop this week for him to get started on painting it. I think I’m gonna leave the grill and bumpers for now though.

now to be fair: the giant barn door tow mirrors on a half ton look like a retarded giraffe giving birth to a baby rhinocerous
...but the regular manual mirrors with the convex spots in the corners (that were just slightly bigger than the standard ones) were sexy & greatly improved visibility - especially with a trailer.
just sayin...
