Re: How to optimize a RCSB for gas mileage
I bought my buddies 2005 1/2 ton SWB, looks exactly like post 4
He was looking to tow with it. It has the tow package 5.3 automatic trans,3.73 gears. THe tow package rides a little stiff, doesn't bother me. He blessed me by selling it to me shortly before he pass, so I will own it, till the cows come home.
It gets 20 MPG, I've heard of the standard suspension pickups that have the 3.23 gear get 22-24 MPG, with the 5.3
He had a 2000 model standard pickup, 2WD, SWB with the V6, it got 20 MPG. THe v6 wasn't gutless, but man, the 5.3 has great power. I wouldn't buy anything but a 5.3
