Hardrock2 09-14-2003, 03:47 PM Probably the best all around daily drivin', trailer totin', road trippin', tool carryin', grocery gettin', parts chasin', people movers ever built!!! LOL!! Loaded with options, a 22 MPG 6.2, (turned up) 700R-4, 3:42's, trailering package, and no payment book, why would I need a late model SUV??? Mike:bowtie: mike reeh 09-15-2003, 01:32 AM you get 22mpg? that is impressive mike Hardrock2 09-15-2003, 03:06 AM 6.2 Diesel. P.O. claimed 24 MPG, but I can't seem to get it. (at least not crusing at 70!) LOL! Drops to around 16-18 with a trailer in tow. Mike:bowtie: 1976K5CHALET 09-19-2003, 07:51 PM gotta love those rag burners when it comes to the mileage game... we have a 90 V2500 Burb....its Mamma's grocery getter...and my tow rig for all our K5's....hehehe. DW KShortell 10-16-2003, 11:21 AM trailering package, and no payment book, why would I need a late model SUV??? EXACTLY! I added keyless entry and a CD changer in the center console a couple years back. I could care less about heated seats or a compass in the mirror. Bulletproof and paid for... :D 83Diesel4x4 02-13-2004, 06:20 PM Originally posted by mike reeh you get 22mpg? that is impressive mike All we get is about 14, so Im very impressed Grim Reaper 02-14-2004, 02:07 PM I'm concidering a Deisel burb for a DD. The 454 I have is killing me right now at 10mpg. I found a 91 R20 6.2 that I wouldn't mind if I can get them down a LOT on the price. 92k but it was a NYFD truck. Says no rust but that is yet to be seen. It would save me about $100 a month Couse something like a CRX that gets 40 would save me $300 a month. Hard choice cause I really like burbs. 1976K5CHALET 02-14-2004, 09:20 PM Grimy...i'd look into the cummins swap and or a 6.5 before i'd think of the 6.2...there are just a slug without a turbo... Mosesburb is doing the cummins swap in az. from the ck5 board...he is like a bro to me and he can help answer all your questions...plus he met the guy i met in phx who works for cummins southwest who did the swap in a 86ish burby... DW 83Diesel4x4 02-15-2004, 12:40 PM Cummins Swap? Sounds intriguing have any more info on this, or a link?

DW Well when I wear out the engine in my 88 (it only has 82k on it so it will be a while) A CTD or a DUramax and Allision are going to definatly be concidered. Who know, I may run accross a good Duramax combo and pull it before then but not top of the priority list yet. Right now I'm just wanting a 20+mpg commuter. 6.2 will surfice for that. skillet 02-19-2004, 08:37 PM There is also another good suburban board at http://forums.vmag.com/suvsuburban0103/ |
