Imperial gallons, since I live in Canada.

Suit yourself, you can ignore me if you wish, I explained how to fill your tank, how your gauge is quirky, but I get 24 MPG with highs of 26 highway, and an annual average of 21 for all combined driving. 240 miles divided by X gallons only matters if you filled the tank to the exact same...

Once the pump clicks off I can always reliably (with some patience) add another 10 litres to top it off. Once full, it takes about 200 km for the needle to even start to move off of being pegged above full. GM fuel gauges are like that. It seems as though this may be have been your first fill...

It isn't/ Diesel fuel contains slightly over 5% gasoline as a component, a tad little bit of a smidge more like that will make no difference, none. Simply grab the right handle and continue to fill with diesel, get somebody near by to slap you one, and off you go.

Looks like the newer generation D-Tech, mine just has a corner "notch", the newer one (which yours appears to be) is illustrated here. Wonder why they took off the tags (brand)? http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?12193-New-Dtech-PMD&p=150001&viewfull=1#post150001 Often times...

Not at all, I said a spring was a good solution for some... When gmctd too the time to write and explain things, I thought it wise to pay attention, well, maybe someone is "busted", but may not be me, this is the text of the paper on wastegates, mechanical controllers, etc. that I recalled...

Those who have replaced a faulty (for whatever reason) OE controlled waste gate with the spring, well, they think they died and gone to Heaven. They'd be equally impressed if they corrected the fault in the vac system. However, far less moving parts with a spring, no more worry about vac...

Well, up in these parts, while I'm travelling at 100KPH, and where other motor vehicles are hurtling toward me at 100KPH with only a strip of paint on the road separating us, the DRL is very much appreciated. DRL saves lives, there is no legitimate argument that I have ever heard against them.

My '94 has them, I suspect it might be that they showed up in Canada earlier than in US

Check the RPO codes in the glove box, T61 indicates your truck came equipped with DRL, T62 indicates DRL delete.

depends on the mileage, might be a steal...but depends

haha, was just something I recalled from a few years back from a paper that gmctd wrote...now this doesn't make any mention or an air duct in the fender to be good or bad, but does explain the GM air intake system, and alludes that it may well be difficult to better...and lots of numbers for you...

Yo that Great White, some of the high pressure created by the ~18 sq ft front is routed through an enclosed path into the passenger side fender (about 95,000 cu ft per mile at 60), creating a slight pressure area there, introducing a vent on the outer fender (low pressure area) may negate that...
