DEF dmax trucks

[malibu795]

whos running them?

might entertaining the idea of buying a '12 or '13 by year end.
mpg? the def semi ('12) i drove got worse mpg as you got more miles on it.. true with these?
mechanical stuff?

some major sales coming up.. truck month end model year etc.. i got congress next week or two in my area (columbus OH) that also means stupid amount of used trucks coming in as well.

seem some LTZ truck stickered at 48k

Nice trucks, mileage sucks.. my DPF is coming off as soon as I'm done with a few other things.

I've been pulling around my buddies LMM puller. 8500 pound truck plus the 32' dual tandem hydraulic dove gooseneck (8000#?) and yes it pulls really good, I've never checked mileage but the dash tells me 7.5. It's normally spot on..

I'll be going a long trip with the same load in October and I can hand calculate it then.

Never fails, when I hook up regen mode comes on.

theres couple decent short "ant" hills there on 95 in RI not much though.. there rich..
ideally it would be a RCLB truck to save weight.. i have heard the CCLB trucks are 8,000lb that right?

Guy weight his CC/SB GMC LML 4x4 at the pull last Thursday and it was 79xx I believe.

 

[malibu795]

this is the curent setup and it would be replaceing the 3500HD the truck is 7000lb with tools, 60gl of fuel 5 days worth of gear and me..

honestly, sled scales dont really hold much weight to me... seen them change way to much too often..

the hills in PA and I-90 in NY aren't ant hills....

true they are bigger then the RI hills. matter of fact i was out on I90 last week. at 26k my current setup doesnt slow down for anything less then 5% grade. found a 11% on US40 in SWPA that slowed me down :rofl:

 

[RichLMM]

theres one hill one hill on the way to the buck that 3rd gear toes to the tin slows the lml down a lil but not by much!

I Love my LML. Only problem I had was the mileae cause mine would alwayss go into regen mode. After ditching the exhaust and all that emissions crap I get great mileage. I drive 49 miles one way to work and at around 80 mph I can maintain 18 mpg. When it was dpf and urea it would regen every two days and suck mileage. With a full tank I would see 500 plus miles remaingin on a tank when it went into regen i would see 300 miles let on tank. That Is why i ditched it all

 

[malibu795]

Who does the def and dpf delete. Last thing i need is a new truck and worse mpg

 

[Texas Chevy]

I use h&s for delete it even offers instructions for urea tank removal

I've had a LML for just about 2 years now and I really love it and it's bone stock. Get close to 14mpg pulling 12500 lbs running 65-70. It gets better mileage then my LB7 and LMM get. All my trucks are stock except my puller so I know they could all do better with tuning but it's like opening a can of worms to me. My buddy put an H and S with all the deletes of his and he said he picked up 1-2 mpg empty and loaded so it wouldn't take long to pay for it as long as you don't care about warranty.

 

[malibu795]

been reading some mpg reports.. guys are getting barely better milage then what im getting with 50-75% of the weight im runing...(max 19,000lb trailer) since i have put the dmax in the truck, i have been avg a solid 12.5mpg with(8mpg with the 6.5td) avg trailer weight of 16,000lb with various wind resistance of loads
covering midwest, new england, colonial states including MO, IL, IA, KY, TN

 

[malibu795]

Get an aluminum flat deck and you would have a pretty nice truck!
Do the H&S delete and tuner and your set!

honestly it would be same setup as current truck.. no bed, fenders mud flaps and tool box..
with bed i fall under the 40/20 max 60' lenght.. no bed im considered a semi tractor. side note i rarely carry anything that would fit on the bed..

 

[LBZ]

I see.
Well at least close it in across the top of the frame rails. Less hillbilly looking and a good place to throw a gear bag or tire chains, chock blocks, etc.
