Its time to replace my 89 1-ton.
I am looking at either a 2500 or 3500 crew cab Chevy SRW with a 4:10 gear and 6.0L gas 4x4 WT, just tilt, air and cruise.
Does anybody have one of these w/the 4:10 and can tell me their mileage? My 89 gets 10.5mpg empty at 55-60mph. I am hoping for better. But hear of people only at 11-12mpg.
The duramax/allison is another $8200. I was very fortunate in my old job as I got a new duramax 3500 every year. Never had a gas engine to see how thirsty it is.
I move my tree spade about 6-8 times a year. With the gas I won't be able to move my dozer, just my tree spade. spade/trailer 12,000lb. dozer/trailer 14,500. Gas will handle 12,300 trailer, diesel 14,900 according to the manual. I have seen people w/a lot more than that behind a diesel, am I missing something as far as how much weight I can have on a gooseneck?
