2500 on the 2500
 

Just turned 2500 miles on the 04 2500 CC yesterday. Drove from Cincinnati to Terre Haute IN and back. Here's my observations:

18.1 MPG round trip. I ran 75 - 80 for the first half of the trip, OH showed 17.8. I tried to run slower (70) on the way back and it went up to 18.2, then I got in a hurry and went back to 75 - 80.

Boring!! [laugh] The tranny (48 RE) never went out of OD the entire trip, even up long hills. My old Silverado would hunt in & out of OD when going up the same hills.

Seat comfort :confused: Maybe the way the hood is laid out makes me want to twist to the center, but it seemed the steering wheel was offset to the left. I hadn't noticed this before, but this was my first long trip.

No vibration, no drone, no wind noise, I love this truck!:)

OK, you get that SMILE off you r face now[laugh] [laugh]
Felt good didn't it:confused:
If yo set the cruise for about 68 it will get even better MPG, this keeps the rpms @~1800. Seems to be a nice spot for the engine to work it's magic, it does get boring though passing all those other folks going up the side of those mountians in O/D without looseing a tick[laugh] [laugh] :D

I've noticed I want to do the same twist to the center. It feels like the seat is twisted that way. :confused:

Im glad Im not the only one loving my truck.. When I took delivery of my truck, it had hard water spots on it from sitting on the back of the lot for a while.. and they could not remove them before delivering the truck to me, so I drove it around for a week dirty as heck.. I took it back to teh dealer today, to get a clay bar treatment to remove the hard water spots, and 6 hours later, its PERFECT! I LOVE MY TRUCK TOO!! And Ive only got 600 miles on mine, but Im averaging about 18-19 hwy and 15-16 city.. but I have a really light foot... Unless I wanna hear the turbo whine :D
