What's new

Long Distance in my Trail Boss

I was hesitant about getting Pulsar but the tire correction and disabling DFM/Auto stop was too big if draw.

Now wished I had done earlier. How the trucks should have come.
 
Just got my TB w/ 6.2L and no DFM. Drove 92 miles each way across state, mainly flat with light up/down hill gradient. Averaged 22.7MPG at 60MPH.

EDIT: After digging, I DO have DFM. Crazy, I can't tell when it's in use.

Should improve with K&N filter/elbow kit and tonneau cover. Going to try for 23MPG or better. My 2016 Canyon All Terrain best MPG was got 27.2 on the 3.6L w/ 6 speed trans. So I'm actually pretty surprised on a Full Size, Half Ton truck that's gotn4x4 capabilities to be getting anything over 20MPG with a large displacement engine.
I've had alot of new chevy small blocks and after 10 K the motors really loosen up...
 
Sounds like an awesome trip👍
Very surprised at the fuel mileage you got from the 6.2 in those conditions but you were there and I wasn’t. I can’t get close to that on the freeway with my 5.3😬
Yeah my 6.2 likes 12 mpg.....freeway is high teens
