I actually had to floor it the other day pulling out of the gas station. That Chevy was movin faster than I thought

I've heard WOT every now and then is good and I've heard it doesn't make a difference on the newer vehicles. I figure I'm going to have to get into it eventually.

I'm not nearly as picky about this truck as I was about my old one. If I was pulling out of somewhere and it looked like I'd have to get on it, I'd wait as long as it took until it was in my "safe zone" This truck I wait until I'm tired of waiting then just go and whatever happens, happens I still don't take it over 2200 85% of the time though and even when I do it's not much over 3k. The other day I was at 4500 and that Magnaflow was soundin pretty good

I don't think I've ever floored my truck.

Morning.

I am getting 16 in town and I have not had a chance to run all highway yet but I am guessing I will pull 20-21 with the truck. Not bad for a 9,000lbs truck.
