    Holy crap...that's pretty impressive. There was a lot of stuff in that trailer. What do you normally get for MPG? Is it about the same with/without the trailer?

    As far as the next trip...I've always wanted to go to the Isle of Man TT. We just need to figure a way to get the truck across the pond...

    No yanky here.

    I upgraded the plug wires per the Avalanche webpage, made her run a lot smoother.

    I wish we had the cold air intake too.

    She gets about 16 on my daily commute, 30-45 mph for 1/2 hr to 45 mins. The trip was mostly highway.

    That's not a bad trip average. I'd bet if you had checked every time you filled up, you'd find you prolly got 13-14 from your house down to the northern Virginia area (lotsa hills) and about 20 from vir all the way to Florida where the roads are all flat.
    When Doug (Revhappy) and i drove down 4 years ago, i got 25mpg trip average with the truck i had, 2 R6s in the back plus packed full of a week and a halfs worth of gear. It had a 4.8L V8.
    I've been getting 17 with the 6.0L (364cid) in the 2500 series i have now.

    God i hate that drive Sitting doing nothing for 18 hours, yaaaae
