I dont think 14 is bad, I mean it is a truck and if I am concerned about mpg I should have got a Honda. My cousin has an 8.1L and he gets 8 mpg towing or not, but in the green truck I got rid of with the 5.3L I was getting 19 if I kept the speed below 70. I will post info on all mods and there effects.

It happened to be a 2500hd, the main diff I could tell was the rear frame section. I have both trucks so I know I will have enough parts to put the truck back right and still have a whole front left over to fix a 05 lwb Silverado out back that has been waiting in line. Oh another good thing is it leaves me a 6.0 4l80 maybe to put in on of my 70 project trucks??. Jim
I have never heard of a 2000HD, thats cool! It sounds like you wont run out parts any time soon, that is for sure.
