Mine is rated for 14/19 but Ive got bigger than stock tires on it now and mainly drive in the city now with a little highway. It always seems to lose 2 mpg with the shitty winter blend gas. ---

It’s tuned on a hypertech programmer but it’s on the low setting, so it doesn’t have any hard shifts on the trans. I could really care less about the tuner but I like having my speedo read correctly for the larger tires. My neighbor has a Silverado and his truck slams the trans when he shifts, he’s got his tuner on the most aggressive setting. This truck is simply a winter beater and tow rig for me, i’m not racing stoplight to stoplight - - - Updated - - - snow pic [![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/D84FCFF8-1F78-43B8-8390-CFFC480BA353-2565-000002CFCCF552C6_zps2c872ac1.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/D84FCFF8-1F78-43B8-8390-CFFC480BA353-2565-000002CFCCF552C6_zps2c872ac1.jpg)](http://s63.photobucket.com/user/jacobennis/media/D84FCFF8-1F78-43B8-8390-CFFC480BA353-2565-000002CFCCF552C6_zps2c872ac1.jpg.html) ---
