You know, I had a 2005 Silverado HD with a 6.0L and it got the same mileage as the 8.1L. In fact, the 6.0L got worse mileage when it had a trailer behind it. Not sure what kind of mileage you expect you are going to get out of your project regardless what engine you use. If fuel mileage is a big concern for you, you picked a horrible hobby to be in my friend  |
My '04 was a 6.0l truck. in the high elevation with no real big hills, i saw 18.8 MPG once and commonly saw 17.5-18 unloaded. i was realy happy with that. put a trailer on it, and i was lucky to see 12. it has a nice Blackbear tune in it. before the tune it was a 13MPG truck. for the amount of time i towed/hauled with it, it was the perfect engine after the tune. if i keep my other K20 i am really considering a 6.0 for it. also considering a Dmax or a CR 5.9... i love big blocks, but i am tired of using them as commuters.
