My 2000 5.3l runs circles around any 5.7l obs truck I had :D

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

I have actually heard that from a few folks....I am not sure what the deal was with the 25 or so I have ridden in or that were owned by my friends. Here in the South East we may just be getting all the junk!?!?!?! I am not sure. I thought it might be gearing....wasnt that...thought it might be tire size...wasnt that. Every 5.3 I have come in contact with in any trans/rear combination got worse gas mileage than any stock 5.7 and none could pulll a trailer on the highway without an overdrive issue. Now most of the people I know that own them are pleased as a commuter vehicle but none have much good to say when hooking a trailer to it and I shouldnt have to buy a 6.0 to haul with and get 10MPG. Like i said.....why have two engines when the 5.7 did the job of both????? I guess its like, why offer a 283, 307 and a 350 all at the same time?

I have to agree with Joe, the 5.3 is plenty stought. My buddy has a 5.7 '99 model and mine will haul his bass boat just as good. Overdrive issues are taken care of by the tow-haul mode. Mine for now is stock and has plenty of power to lay out some nice long S marks down the highway.

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

I have a few mods (see above) on my 5.3l and a heavy foot. I get 17 MPG on the highway and about 16 or so with mixed driving. Not bad considering what I have and how I drive it :D

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

Here is my 99' Silverado it has a 5.3/auto trans 3.73 rear with dual exhaust, cold air intake, and custom tuned pcm.

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

Nope........cant complain about 16 or 17MPG....... We wont see that out of a 6.0 though.

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

I just picked up a 2006 GMC. I've never had a newer vehicle before and I stepped up from a 260k mile S10 so I love it. Pulled my Camaro around just fine, same with my boat and it's only a 4.8 with the crappy 3.23 gears.

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

Anyone with a NBS Chevy/GMC I highly reccomend a custom tuned pcm....with my crappy 99' computer i was at 12 mpg city 13.5city/highway. After upgrading to a 2001 computer and having it tuned for performance/economy I now average 14 in town and 15-17 highway, plus the performance increase is about .4 in the quarter mile.

Work truck/hauler/tow vehicle.

2001 HD 2500 Duramax/Allison w/3:73's.

H2 wheels w/Terra Grappler 285 tires.

Loaded with work gear (600lbs at least) I get 16/17mpg daily around town.
Unloaded highway travel exceeds 22mpg.
Towing a 'normal' car/truck it averages 15mpg but towing my offroad blazer @ better than 8K total it drops down to high 12's.
Pulls like a beast and never "has" to go below 70mph on the grades. :D

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

is the blazer street legal? if so why tow it? unless your going a long distance. i don't know just thought i would ask

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

Yes it is but barely. ;)

We were heading for Paragon in that pic which is 400 miles each way.

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

Plus it's a good idea to tow it in case something brakes while you're out playin' :D

Re: Post Your Ride 99+ Trucks
 

I concur.
I have the tuned PCM from www.wait4meperformance.com - great upgrade :metal:
