Duramax Chevy

murdock

Hey guys i just purchased an 04 chevy 2500 hd crewcab with the duramax in it. i havent pulled anything with it yet but it seems to have plenty of power. just seeking some opinions and wondering how many miles i might get per gallon.

The Duramax is awsome I currently have two of them both in 1ton duallies. They pull really good and the allison transmission is the best thing they ever put in a light duty truck. I pull a lot of heavy loads pretty often and for long periods and havent had any troubles with temp or anything. The milage is pretty good too depending on how you drive probably around 15mpg towing 20's empty depending on weight. You will enjoy it.

I'm on my 2nd Duramax, 1st with 6 speed Allison. 19 mpg hwy, 16.5 mpg city, pulling the big ass trailer 15 mpg.

I can't complain, last one was running 15-16 hwy and city.

I want one pretty bad, but can't bring myself to gettin rid of the 7.3 Ford. Its a tank. But the Duramax is my fav! Enjoy the truck! I am jealous.

I have a '06 2500 HD duramax. I pull 4 tons regularly. I'm pleased with the performance. I have had some minor problems with trans cooling lines (dripping fluid) because of extreme temprature conditions in Alaska. It's a good work rig. I think the mpg is about 18-20.

I have two 06 LBZ's and i love them. I get 11-13mpg towing my mini-ex and i get around 13-14mpg towing my enclosed trailer. I have gotten a best of 22mpg with my ECSB on a trip with the tuner set on 85HP. It has gotten 20-21mpg without the tuner. A good website with alot of info on D-Max's is dieselplace.com if you are looking for more info on upgrades or any other info in general.
