Wish I had a lifetime of that, my life time is around 24mpg with just over 3,000 Miles. Mostly use it to drive to work and back but have these long trips every now and then so time will tell how it does. All I know is I had a 2014 Silverado with the 5.3 and its lifetime when I sold it was 13.8MPG with over 200K. So this is WAY better 😁

I had my 1st regen that I'm aware of at just a little over 1K miles. My 3.0 actually sounded like a diesel. I could even hear it inside the cab. Like you and most other owners, I love my truck.

I have the 2.8L babymax in my ZR2 and I definitely know when it goes into regen. Especially when I use my right foot. The turbo even seems to scream. But it does not regen often, especially on the highway. My DEF bottle only holds 5.5 gallons and I have no DEF gauge until the DEF is down to 30%, which I find strange. But I fill the DEF when my oil is changed. But my ZR2 (granted I have 32" BTG K02 tires) only gets 28mpg at 75mph empty, 20mpg while towing 4k pounds.

I have not noticed the regen at all. But I do hear the Turbo when I am running level. And start up hill with the cruze set. Just a we small squel. Very slight.

Just took my 3.0 crew cab to Florida and averaged around 28-29mpg on the way down and around 22 on the way back but that was going uphill and pushing 80-85mph, round trip was around 1600 miles. All in all was very impressed.

Just watched your trip. I own a 2021 crew cab 4x4 with the Duramax 3.0 and 10 speed trans been getting in the 30s [32 (702 mpg) to 34 (499 mpg)] once 44 mpg. 22 to 26 in town. Love my truck. It gets 850+

I’ve done several trips in my 3.0, Florida, and Texas multiple times. I drove from Milwaukee and didn’t fill up until I got to Oklahoma, before I filled up. Still had 100+ miles until empty. That’s with a few stops . 21k miles now and zero issues

What amazing fuel mileage! I'm trying to decide between one of these and a 2500 6.6L gas. One thing I don't want is cylinder deactivation. How much does the DEF fluid cost? That would take away from the mileage advantage a little. Really impressed with this minimax. Look forward to more videos.

I mean depends how much you are going to tow. that 6.6 is going to get terrible fuel mileage compared to the 3.0L. its so bad they don't even have it on the window stickers lol. id guess a average in the 6.6 to be around 15mpg. has 124HP more than the 3.0L and only like 4lbft of torque more. 3.0L is going to tow most anything you throw at it unless you are doing BIG loads for long hauls then maybe you want to step up to the 6.6 Diesel. Id say go drive the 3.0L after the first drive you will be sold and be happy you go something that gets decent fuel mileage when not towing or hauling something. Def is about $8/gal. My truck has 3,500 miles on it still have over half tank of def left....so that amount spent on def will be miniscule compared to the fuel savings in the long run. I've heard towing you go through it quicker but haven't had any long hauls with a trailer yet so not sure. But mostly daily driving I'm guessing ill get a fair amount of miles out of the def.

Jesus!!! Is that Ben Roethlisberger?!?!

Just wondering if you actually check the mileage manually instead of relying on the lie meter. I got my father to try on his car and the fuel mileage dropped about 10% when he did the calculations from filling up versus what the meter said. they’re famous almost all car brands to be off .I seen some of them off much as 30%

@@uptownautogarage6833 After 140,000 miles, it's been perfect. Had it tuned at 5,000 miles, best money ever spent. I try to drive 65 and under, no prolonged idling, etc. Also impressed with the ability of the rear coils to carry weight, especially heavy tongue weight. I like the GM 3L diesel a lot, but the Ram feels a bit more solid. Also tried out a F150 3L. Sadly Ford stopped selling them.

Is the link to the fuel cap the correct one? It says it's for a dodge. Just wanna make sure before I buy lol.

I’d probably get one of these if it didn’t have that oil pump belt. Something that important should be gear or chain driven, or at least be easy to replace.

Toyota tried to find an answer for Fords power and mileage and have a better mpg and powerful teuck than the last generation. Gm has their answer now ram needs to stop worrying about interiors and looks and worry about replacing their lineup of gas guzzling underpowered motors and get somthing to compete.

I was all Gung ho to get this in my next truck, but then when I learned about the fuel pump belt located in the rear of the engine and how it has to be changed at 150,000 miles recommend by GM. But only accessible way to change it is to remove engine from the transmission. Great design there engineering.! I average 33,000 miles a year just driving back and forth to work. So every 4-5 years of changing this belt, at ? Cost.! No thanks. GM you have to come up with a better design for this belt longevity or redesign the location.!

Assume you are talking about the oil pump belt. Yes its unfortunate that they did that but for most folks id imagine it will not be a problem as they will not keep the truck as long as you. It for sure is a large expense as GM book time on the repair is 16.8 Hours. Thank you for watching and maybe they will change it sometime and you will be able to give one a try!

@@uptownautogarage6833 Yes, I guess I am talking about the oil pump belt. Thanks for the correction. With you having a round trip of 210 miles a day for work, and me only 80, you're going to be changing the belt a helluva lot sooner than I would. Or are you going to just keep trading in new every 3-4 years. Let someone else deal with the expense.? 16.8 hrs to change the belt as you mentioned, at $120/hr labor. $2000, conservative figure. That buys a lot of gasoline for my current 5.3.

As is always my MO I don’t come close to this mpg in my 2022 AT4 refresh. I averaged around 18-20 and my highway is 24-26 mpg I f you factor in Dif, increased maintenance cost over gas and the cost of Let’s Go Brandon Diesel, it is not the most economical engine available.

Something is wrong with mine I guess. Houston to Chicago avg 24.1mpg.

I have the same truck and the best i have gotten so far is 23.8. How is everyone else getting 33+????

I was close to buying one of those till I read that Duramax either shot themself in the foot or built in a money maker by incorporating a belt drive oil pump that must be replaced at about 150K miles and the transmission needs to be removed before you can drop the oil pan to replace it. no thanks. Then everyone thinks the MPH is good but when you factor in the DEF fluid cost and the higher cost of diesel you are not doing that good.
