Hey guys i'm looking at trading my 2003 lb7 in on a 2009 llm with 12k miles. I was wanting to know what kind of mileage you guys are getting without pulling. If people have completely stock trucks post what your getting and if its tuned with exhaust, intake, etc post your setup and what your getting. Thanks in advance guys.

12-14 mpg calculated per tank since I bought it, not much better on the highway, havent drove it any farther than an hour staight on the interstate.. the way it likes the fuel dont think it will be much better no upgrades..

Just wondering but why are you deciding to trade your LB7 for a LMM? I traded my '01 for a LMM and i like my LMM alot but i miss my goodies on my LB7 but I just went on a road trip that was 25 to 2600 miles and i was getting about 21-23 mpg and that was a lil bit of stop and go and a couple passes at the drag strip and the weather was about on average 70 degrees.

Check this thread out. Should be all you need to see :)

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/07-5-lmm-duramax-powertrain/31826-great-lmm-debate.html

My truck with 285's, one of our EFI tunes and Exhaust gets about 20 on the highway, 17-18 on the interstate, and about 15 in town. Haven't done much for heavy towing, but light towing ~5000lbs I get around 13-14

I haven't gotten to run it with summer blend fuel yet, so mileage should hopefully go up once it starts warming up.
