A co-worker bought a similar truck to what I have last month, except he has a Silverado and I have a Sierra. Since he has a set of keys to a large, old, abandoned gravel pit near by, we explored that for a little while and snapped some shots. I think I had more fun just driving around the pit. 30 shots total; the rest can be seen here: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/killerblackbird/sets/72157624610499939/with/4896380939/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/killerblackbird/sets/72157624610499939/with/4896380939/) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4896976618_b5404e4bf1_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4896976618_b5404e4bf1_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4896380939_62eafa57f4_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4896380939_62eafa57f4_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4896380685_062c1da661_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4896380685_062c1da661_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4896380147_ebe30d38de_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4896380147_ebe30d38de_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4896379509_4605af9df2_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4896379509_4605af9df2_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4896974540_216c8e9272_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4896974540_216c8e9272_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4896973786_025b847693_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4896973786_025b847693_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4896973498_35cce943b6_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4896973498_35cce943b6_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4896973400_10ccb382ee_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4896973400_10ccb382ee_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4896377455_99174c66ea_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4896377455_99174c66ea_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4896973576_cd07978e98_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4896973576_cd07978e98_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4896973070_111534835d_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4896973070_111534835d_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4896377063_2904e8d87e_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4896377063_2904e8d87e_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4896376901_df39e41272_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4896376901_df39e41272_b.jpg) ---

The shoot, and especially #11 looks exactly like something I would see if I go and gran a car and driver magazine off the shelf to see their back page truck review. #14 would have the description and advantages of the truck listed right below it. ---

What are you averaging for mileage with the GMC? I plan on ditching the slobalt and picking up a new/slightly used Silverado half-ton with the 5.3/6pd/4x4 combo within the next year or so. ---

On the dash display, it says I am averaging 19.5MPG. With my '07 Sierra Denali (6.0L - 345HP) I was getting about 16-17MPG, so it really isn’t that bad. The 6-speed transmission does some funny shifts sometimes, hard to explain, but nothing to worry about. ---

The 6spd in those newer gas trucks is a funky trans, shifts VERY funny at times. I guess thats just the way they are though. Gas mileage in the newer style 5.3’s is excellent they’re a well built truck and you can find them at great prices all around. Nice shoot by the way!
