I have a question, mine is brand new, 1k miles, my first tank I was getting 17-20 mpg on my work commute and my second tank same commute 14-17 mph.
What gives??

I had a similar experience around the same mileage. I chalked it up to the system doing some sort of "break-in" operation. I also got the Banks gauge so I can tell when it's doing a regen. Mileage drops off a TON during the 40 or so miles of a highway regen. Maybe you had a tank with 2 regens? I have seen regens about every 4-500 miles.

Exactly. Spot on.

Or see a tank with no regen cycle at all vs another with one. Or two.

Shrug - pretty easy to see a regen cycle by the current mpg reading.

I'm sure you can see the regen cycle by the current mpg reading, but that banks gauge is pretty nifty. I'll be getting one along with a pedal monster once the truck finally gets here.

It's been mentioned in one of the other threads on here that a less expensive option is a good blue tooth obdII reader and a phone app to go with it. Thinking I may go that route. More for troubleshooting and really don't like extra crap on the dash.

Valid point.
I have one and it works, its just not convenient while driving to see data at a glance.

Here is a piece of news thats a few days old now, https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/0...nsport-trucks-to-deliver-vehicles-to-dealers/ This is good, but I see the delivery fees going through the roof....

My truck finally arrived at the dealer, took 8 weeks for delivery after being built in Oshawa. White exterior with Gideon/Very Dark Atmosphere leather buckets. Brought it home tonight, already has 45 miles on it 😀
I’ll be ceramic coating it and Woolwax undercoating it myself.

Thats a fine lookin ride right there! That Gideon/Very Dark Atmosphere, is that the same color scheme as GMC's dark walnut/slate??

Yes, I’m pretty sure they’re the same. I think the center council is a different layout between Chevy/GMC? I like mine, it’s very sharp and prefer over the black.

consider first class protection by berkable oil, i am more impressed with it over woolwax and carwell

What do you think makes it better, says on the can wool wax and lanolin based?

 

[leolkfrm]

seems to stick better, no dripping in the heat...thinking they do something to thicken it?

Little off topic but have a favor/question. Buddy of mine is looking to get a 2500 LT and the stealership is giving him the base max payload and towing numbers. Anyone out there mind sharing a picture of there 2020+ 2500 CC 4x4 LT door weight sticker. He hasn't decided between standard or long bed yet.

I think he will regret getting a 2500 but maybe not. And the dealership doesn't have anything on the lot to check the label. Thanks in advance.

That sticker is for 17" tires. 18" and 20" tires have GVW of 11350 but tire asms weigh about 75 lbs more of that 200 lbs you gain. GCW increases to 27,500 lbs and maximum conventional will increase to 18,500 lbs.
