Howdy Folks,
Just bought a 2006 Silverado LT CrewCab 2500HD, with the 6.6L Duramax LBZ, and 61,000 miles. Traded in my 2005 5.3L Silverado because I bought a 30-foot Travel Trailer, and needed something with a higher Tow Capacity.
First drive was 365 miles (from Bella Vista, AR to Belleville, IL) and logged 18 MPG. Looking to improve that number. The truck/motor seems to be bone stock, so I'm working with a blank canvas, Mod-wise.
Been lurking here for a while, and thought I'd register now that I have a Duramax of my own. I can see there is a Plethora of knowledge here, and an looking forward to learning everything I can about my truck, and even contribute when able.
Looking forward to talking to you all...
Mike.
