    I've seen this on another site and was curious what LB7 owners here are getting for fuel economy. When you post, please post your cab configuration, transmission type, and if you have 2WD or 4WD. Mine; RC/LB, Auto, 4WD. Average; 18.1mpg Highest; 22.9mpg Lowest; 13.4mpg

    Anyone ever have a Optima Battery leak?

    Arent they gel batteries? And if so, arent they designed not to leak? I wasnt aware there was any liquid in them.

    buying a duramax

    I know the newer trucks only come with the Allison, but I'm pretty sure you could get a six speed manual up until 2008. If you crawl under the truck and look, it will say 'Allison' on the transmission pan, thats the surest way to tell.

    Fuel consumption?

    :iagree: Winter fuel will be consumed at a higher rate due to the lower BTU content of Kerosene.

    Alabama

    Wakefield is on the other side of Boston, about 30 miles north of me. Been through there a few times. Northern side of the state seems to be prettier then the southern though... ):h :cheers2:
