Neighnbor across the street has a visitor with an old Chev 6.2 with 564 K miles and he's replaced three sets of injectors and two pumps. He's enroute from Calif to Flor. pulling a gooseneck tandem axle trailer loaded with ice making equipment and says he's getting about 12-13 mpg but gets 23-27mpg running empty. I told him he bette keep the old truck. He looked at my 03 GMC 2500 D/A and says thats for him.

I was driving my old 6.2 up until 3 days before I took delivery on my 03 when it blew a head gasket! I made the mistake of sitting in the 03 the day before... the old girl could smell it on me and gave up the ghost! Hope you buddy didn't sit in your truck or he'll never make it to Florida!!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
