    Great review of the Chevy Silverado 2500. I am a fan of Diesel engines but I do like having options. But people need to stop hating and griping on those who want to buy a diesel. If someone can afford either that’s their business. As long they take care of it and get good use for what they need it for that’s all that matters. At least Chevrolet has put the 10 speed transmission behind the gas engines. It gives the driver more gearing and better mileage.

    I’m really looking forward to seeing you run the Ike with the 24 HD gas engine trucks. With the 10 speeds and these upgraded engines Ford and Chevy are really reducing the use cases where you actually do need the diesel. Even for larger 5th wheels now as RV miles has been demonstrating. Yes the diesel will be faster no question but when you consider all the money you save in both upfront purchase and long term ownership costs I think that’s worth it for a couple of minutes of lost time going up the grade.

    I take immaculate care of my 2012 2500HD Silverado Ext Cab, 32k miles, and I love it! I upgraded from my 2009 after they changed the running gear in 2011 to use the 3500HD type on both. I added a bed rug, matching Leer glass cap w/all options, wheel well flairs, rear wheel well liners, full cab Westin boards and window shades. The truck is an LT, and optioned with about everything but leather. I did install leather seat covers. About 1 1/2 years ago, when you couldn't buy an HD truck, a stranger pulled into my driveway and started looking at my truck. He asked about the mileage, I said 32k why!?? He then offered me $45,000 cash for it!! 10 years old, and I paid $42,000 for it, before bolt on options!! About 2 weeks later the local Chevy dealer drove in with the part runner truck. He looks it all over, and offered me $17,000 cash for it. No bueno. It has the 6.0L LS gas engine, 3.71 w/plow pkg/locking rear end and Allison 6 speed. w/360hp 360tq it gets right down the road. We parked our 5th wheel at a seasonal site the year I bought the truck, it's never towed/pulled anything. It's my keeper!! 8) --gary

I supported the “other UA-camr” in thinking you guys were trying to say he couldn’t run that pass at all. I now understand it’s only about the terminology and that makes sense to me. I do respect the “other UA-camr” and you guys as well. Thank you for clearing the air on this situation.

    More ratio is such a positive when it comes to towing. My GMT800 Yukon Denali car had the engine to tow, but the 4 speed transmission could only shift between "calm and collected" and "OMG the engine is going to RPM itself into a pile of piston mcnuggets". No in-between.
    Now if only I could have this 10 speed in that car.....

I had been watching the other guy's channel since he had a lot of info and testing using his newly purchased Silverado.

Too bad there was a miscommunication, maybe he can still reach out and things can get sorted out still.

      When you increase the radius of a tire, it now requires more torque from your driveline to turn that larger tire. This generally does not have much of a negative effect on the engine components themselves, although it will now require the engine to work harder to maintain the same speed as before.

    I'll post it here since I know a lot of you might be interested. I have a 2024 Silverado 2500 LT crew cab. Pulled a 6k lb travel trailer for 1400 highway miles and averaged 8-9 mpg for the entire trip. Some places were over 10 mpg but overall average was about 8.4 mpg. Didnt even feel or notice the trailer. The truck will pull it like its nothing. I'll assume most of fuel economy was lost due to wind drag. Currently at 4k miles now. Averaging about 16 mpg highway and about 11-13 mpg city without towing.
