2005 duramax, 4x4, 6" lift, procomp x 35", Hypertech in stock format
stated trailer weight 10,000 lbs.
actual scaled weight 12,000 lbs plus 1,000 pounds of fluids but no toys inside
4,000 lbs on front axle
6,000 lbs on rear axle
Total scaled weight for trip 20,200 lbs.
pulled cajon no problem at 60-65, (passed another weekend warrior being towed by a Ford like he was standing still) LOL!
first leg of trip to Havi, Lake Forest to Barstow, just over 7mpg
second leg. Barstow to the Pilot at hwy 95, almost 9mpg
no trailer trip back to Lake Forest, 14 mpg
And that's the truth!
Just in case you are wondering about the mileage on a Duramax it aint all it can be cracked up to be but DAMN it does pull.
Now I set the Hypertech at stage III and it is friggin' scary!

Procomp 35" tires, and I did not hit the juice until after I towed it. Have to do a new test next week with the juice added to see how it does.

So whats the verdict on the fuel mileage. I need you guys information about the Durmax because I am thinking about getting one. Only a 2wd 4 door.

Got to tow it to Laughlin and back this past week with the juice on. Of course it towed it even easier but it was too short a trip to tell about the mileage. Don't buy one for the mileage though. IT IS NOT worth it! For pulling power and longevity yes but NOT for mileage. (IMO) :messedup:

Your's is a trailer...his is an RV :) Always be that way....
I will never lighten up on him. Every since he left me on the side of the road at the Hoover Dam when I was 3 years old I have been waiting for the day to get back at him :)
WA, WA, WA, WA get over it you little BIACH!
My daddy left home when I was three,
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me...
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid,
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue'.
Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke,
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk.
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head.
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'.
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen.
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars,
And kill that man that give me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town, and my throat was dry.
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'.
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold,
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do! Now you gonna die!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
And he went down, but, to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men,
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough,
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough,
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said good-bye.
I knew you'd have to get tough or die,
And it's that name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'."
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!
