All Things Chev

[the evil twin]

Also, latest fuel economy figures ...

Took the truck and TVAN up to the Wattagans via Ourimbah State Forrest. Did not hold back on the right foot and at times forgot the camper was behind me. Up some pretty steep terrain in low range ....

Filled up, post off road with about 200Km of on road .. 16.77l/100Km.

Currently averaging 15.35l/100Km. I am over the moon. Typically after or during towing the camper with the ZD30 I am up in the 18 to 20's. Mate of mine has a 100 series, albeit pretty pimped, and he averages around town in the mid 16's.

Yeah baby... I do not think I am going to look back with this conversion. For those on other forums, no it is not a Duramax or a Cummins and it is definitely not a speedster but it ticks the boxes that I was after.

Kindest regards

I think I hate you... nah, just joking.

I'm not getting anything like that but then again my gearbox is a 4L85 Auto, my Van is around 2 tons and most of my figures were with 35's.
Bottom line is that I don't really care as the the vehicle is what it is.
Agree the 6.5 has to be one of the slowest revving engines ever produced but, meah, thems the breaks.
