08 Silverrado 5.3

[Mike]

A co-worker was asking me if there was any way to get better fuel mileage with his truck.

What kind of suggestions do you guys have, for upgrades to improve mileage? I suggested tune, but I don't know anyone that could tune it.

[Bradleyrj]

Tune, good intake and exhaust that ALL work together.

[clubracergt1]

Tell him to Google Hypermiling.

J/K-Bradley has it pretty much right. If 2wd, and he likes the look, lower the suspension also. Hal, Sr. picked up on highway mileage by just lowering his F150.

A tune would be the best option in my opinion. My truck picked up a little with a K&N, I am sure an aftermarket exhuast would also help a good bit.

contact justin at blackbear performance and get it tuned for mileage. my tahoe has a tune. cai. exhaust. and gears and with a 350 with 35s and 20s i get 16.6 average

Cool - thats who i told him to call.

i dont have the mileage tune and mine isnt bad. my grandfather has a 07 with 18s the 5.3 exhaust and volant intake and gets 22mpg. and he drives harder then i do he also has 3.23 gears and that helps

if he was looking for fuel mileage why did he buy an SUV? Should have bought a smart car. :poke: Best way to get better gas mileage is install a 2x4 under the gas pedal and a bungie cord from the steering wheel to the pedal to limit how hard he can press it down. there you go and they are almost free mods. :cheers

Sell it and buy a Honda Fit!!! He'll get much better gas mileage!

since Jr told me about you i've already given 2 people your number. this is just a hobby for me and i prefer tuning for best driveability over power since i dont have a wideband so WOT fueling isnt something anybody wants to do without a wideband.

me too HPtuners just havent updated their list because the 2010s require the beta version which isnt available to the public yet.

Thank you for that. I know there are many people in the area who were (are) loyal to Lorenz and may not be sure about me, but I just want everyone to know that Lorenz and I are friends and I hope to continue providing high quality calibration services in the Low Country.

I have been working with several local shops over the years and have been talking to a few new ones lately in the hopes of expanding calibration services beyond GM platforms. I hope I can make it happen. :bigthumb:

[schardbody]

yeah im not here to take business from anyone making a living!
