our long term test Silverado...

[AnthonyS]

Hey Gang, been busy this week running around.

Haven't had time for updates, but yes, I certainly plan to keep the updates coming with our experiences.

So far, so good.

In ten days I've logged just about 1400 miles; on my fourth tank of 87 now.

So, 1392 miles on three tanks and assuming a useage of all 24 gallons in each, that maths to about 19.33 mpg. Very satisfied with that number.

More soon, cheers all.

That's pretty solid. My 5.3 Sierra crew cab gets around 18 with mixed city/hwy driving.

Hi Gang,

I thought it was about time for an update:

Around the last update, I took a rock or lug nut or something to the driver's side front windshield, just at the A pillar... it was at highway speed and was VERY loud and I got a slight spray of glass dust in the cab...

After getting a quote, I opted to go through insurance, these pieces of glass are NOT cheap to replace.

Anyway, no big deal there.

My only other observations to date are just that, not really issues per se, and certainly not complaints.

First, there's no boost gauge, no light, nothing, you have to listen for the turbo...

And secondly, the radio on off button / volume knob is in the exact geographical center of the dash - it's not biased toward the driver at all... very curious.

It continues to give me 19.0X MPG! Mixed driving.

And I average about 25MPH when it's running...

So, nothing but good to report after 8113 miles in 4.5 months.

Very happy.

Cheers all,
Anthony
