I have an 08 3500 CC Dually 4x4. Took a tractor to my son in Texas on a 24 ft. Gooseneck and got 10 mpg on an 1150 mile trip. Coming back with empty trailer I got 13mpg. No mods and truck has 10 thousand miles on it. Had an 03 2500 4x4 that got 18.5 mpg on 245's with no mods. Man I miss that truck!
I would want to keep anything that got 18 pulling a empty 24 ft trailer and would never expect anything to do that.

A buddy of mine has a chevy crap 6.0 gasser and is contemplating trading up to the d-max. Right now he is only getting 8 mpg in town and 11 TOPS on the highway. He is trying to figure out if he can save enough money in fuel costs to make up most of the payment difference. So, guys with LMM's, if you could post what your stock mpg's were and what you get with mods, it would be appreciated.
Right now he puts on about 700 miles a month to my 1200 and i still pay less for fuel. But if he upgrades, he has to get a new GM since he went with a 4 year lease 2 years ago. His dealer is trying to tell him that he can get 18 all day, but I call BS with the DPF on it. Thanks for the help guys.

I get 13.6 daily on 8 mile commute and city. 17-19 highway. over 20 possible.
mileage with mods??? with mods you have no warranty, no discussion needed here.
If the 2011 Dmax ever comes out, has the price increase and needs the liquid urea added ever 1000 miles, I'll be looking to sell my low mileage loaded 2009 dually at a premium and order a 2011 gasser equipped how I want and buy a camper .

the dealer doesn't have to void your warranty if you delete the DPF, but they will, cause usually people who get rid of emissions equipment want more power, and every tuner out there that has the ability to delete the DPF also can add power, and what does added power do? It breaks things, like u-joints, transfer cases, transmissions, rear ends, front ends, etc. I know this because well, I've broken it, and the dealer didn't have to void my warranty, but do i blame them for doing so? no, not really

Now that i rolled over 10,000 miles, freeway at 65- 23.2 MPG and getting better the more i get higher mileage.
