i have had the truck for 27 months and ive put a little over 5000 miles on it. i only drive it when i need to haul something. So that is part of my problem. However the last 4 tanks have all been at the truck stop at highway 98 and u.s. 54. I just think my truck is that way. I have had other...

gm guy.... My trunk does not have a chip. And i guess im just not luckey enough to get excellent mileage like you guys. I will say that i filled last week and i got 16.8 m.p.g. My pevious best was 15.7. One thing i have been doing lately is driving faster . i put the r.p.m.'s at 2200. I have a...

yes i do beleive more important. is weight and wind resistance too. i think even if i drove 40 m.p.h. i would never get over 20 mpg.

in my opinion. i used power service since 2000. i have not used it since early 2011. now i use howes. my truck starts better and is quiter. power service for sure aint the same. plus the jug size has changed. and the 80oz is like 15.99. howes is 12.00 for 64 oz. and i use less. thats just me.

o.k. I dont mean to beat a dead horse. But i think my fuel problem is here isn S.W. kansas. The only good 4 tank fulls were when i want up to michigan. But that was in the winter. I even changed my fuel filter and air filter too. There is no answers out there. Ill just live with that. Thanks

One more thing . I did change from 180 to 195 stats. And the only thing i gained was a hotter heater. No other changes. Thank you

Yes sir. Thats what ive been saying. People spend many dollars to get pennies. Thats what the auto suppliers tell us everyday. I was gonna buy a new truck. However a new one is over 40 grand. It gets a little better mileage. But it will NEVER EVER pay for itself. Ill just keep my junk. Plus if...

I just wish people on these forums would stop telling other people about these get better mileage cures that dont work.But im just happy to keep what i got. However i will try anything that might work. Im just crazy that way. It dont make no sense to spend dollars to save pennies though...

My belief is the reaason my truck only averages 13mpg to 14 mpg is because of 4.10 gears and u.l.s.d. Im sure glad other guys with 4.10 gears are getting 13 also. However if i had 3.73, or 4.10 and slowed down would i not get 17 like other guys do? Plus if i drive slower the wind resistence...

What i cant understand is ive been told if i go to bigger tires or change my gear ratio to 3.73 or 3.42 i would get better mileage.My thought is if i did that the cost would never pay for it self. ever. Whats weird is when i pull my trailer i drive faster. If i slow down its a little better but...

My 95 i have now is weird one for sure. I can beat the crap out of it, or baby it. Not much difference at all. I just dont like how people say buy this do that. And its just a waste of money. But i listen and try them out. I have took out the computer and its still the original so i have no...

I think not all diesels are the same as far as the 6.5,s are. I had a 97 even the same color in 2002 and 2003, and it got 17 mpg to 22 mpg. Or is it the u.l.s.d? Or is some people stretching the truth? and, or all of the above? maybe im too honest? thank you

Hey there good people. I will just say ive had mt 95 k3500 for over 2 years. And it used to be a dually, now its a single rear wheel. Ive went from 180 stats to 195, Ive drove 55, 65, 70, and 75 mph. Ive run lucas, and howes, and power service, Ive filled at truck stops and regular stations,, ...

ya i went to that page. and mine is different. my 1995 does not have factory air conditioning. does that make a difference? i dont know. thank you much.

what is IIRC? also i thoght the switch itself was the problem. also is this heater system controled by a body control module? thats what bumper to bumper auto said. i dont think so. i can fix anything. but finding what is wrong, thats my problem. thank you

i have a 1995 chevy 3500. reg cab. now my problem is the motor speed on the heater is either off or no matter what speed i put the switch at.it has its on high. i thought is was the resister. i replaced it. it did not fix the problem. so i repaced the relay under the dash on the heater ,near...

well i did my glow plugs today. i put in the bosch 80034's. well i took the wheel well out on the right side. all the ones that said the last one was the hardest one. you were wrong. i had to take my downpipe loose and move it away from the engine to even see the 3rd one back. my downpipe is...

i changed it today. i took the relay out and shorted the wires like it said in the post. and opened the bleader and when i seen fuel and no bubbles. i closed the bleeder,and it started right up. thank you much

thank you very much guys

im getting ready to put a wix fuel filter on my truck. it looks easy. now do i just unsrew the filter? and after i put the new one in, do i just turn on the key? and it primes itself? or do i have to fill the filter housing before i put the filter in the housing? i just dont want to get air in...
