Im looking at an 04 3/4 ton with a Duramax. 95k. Its one of our sales guys. The problem is it gets 13.5 mpg, on paper and electronically. I know of 3 other 2/4wd 3/4 tons that get 18-22. Our one ton duallys at work only get 11-12 but they are both at 18k.
I have put Rotella T in it, and besides a programmer etc what else could be the problem.
Karl, DavidO?

How long has it been getting this mileage?
EDIT: What engine does it have? LB7 or LLY (8th # in VIN)

the cylinders probably arent all in a straight line like they should be
I can get pretty regularly atleast 17 mpg. I have a 2006 3500 SRW 4x4 with the 6 speed auto. I drive pretty quick. Before when I baby it and do a lot of highway miles I can get close to 20.
13.5 seems horrible, does it have aftermarket or larger tires? A giant diesel leak?

my dad's '04 CC LWB 4X4 gets 17 combination from new until now w/ 150k on the clock. my friend has an '06 Ext Cab SWB 4X4 w 50k on the clock and it only get's 14 max... I think some trucks are just unlucky.
He says its been the same since it rolled off the lot. Ed, I will get the 8th #. Its a plain ol short bed extended cab with 265 BFG ATs.
