But why do I only get 14 miles to the gallon in the 6.0? I have tried every setting on my edge, I have changed out the stock intake to an airaid. I haven't touched the exhaust yet. Some of the guys I talk to who own either Duramax or Cummins diesels are getting between 19 and 24 miles to the gallon on the summer blend. Is it time to change trucks?  I would love to hear your suggestions on what I can do to improve my mileage or wheather or not to change trucks. Thanks!! |
We need a little more info,is the 6.0 a Dually,what Gears does the truck have 3.73,4.10 etc,My 05 6.0 with 3.73 gears only gets about 14 in town,about 17 Empty on the Highway,if you can keep your RPM's below 2K (that's 70 MPH with 3.73 Gears) that will help your MPG's,start getting over 2K on the RPM's & mileage starts to drop off considerably,Good luck.
