Anyone with a RCSB silverado?

[black2002ls]

The dime will pass 200k miles this week or next. I am, again, toying with the idea of a new truck. It would be nice to not leave oil everywhere I go, or have to manually roll the windows down. I found, what I think is a good deal on a 2009 RCSB work truck. Pw/pl with the 4.8L. I know the 5.3 is the more desirable engine, though it seems they are harder to find in the regular cab.

If you have a RCSB with the 4.8 what is your real world fuel milage (please include driving amount city/hwy %). I get 22-24 in the s-10 right now.

I had a RCSB 5.3l Z71 last summer/fall and I loved it. I'm not sure what the fuel mileage was exactly, but I remember being pleased with how little it used. Find the 5.3l if you can. It would really get up a go, even with all of the 4x4 stuff.
It sank to the frame in quicksand type stuff over in lake Ray Roberts. I was just cruising and purposely avoiding any and all mud, and suddenly it just sank the entire front end. 3 lifted 4x4s and 1 AWD van later, it was out.

The 5.3l is totally worth it, but I haven't been able to find another one that originally came with one, or a swapped one for a fair price. The Z71 was awesomely cheap fun and served as my snowpocalypse transportation.

My next rig pig is most likely going to be a mild heads/cammed 5.3 rcsb z71..

You will not get the mileage of the s10 thats for sure, but 2wd can be had cheap vs 4wd.

I get 20-22 mpg @70 mph with 25/75 city/hwy mileage mix per tank. 01 1500 scsb with 4.8 310k miles that is stock other than a K&N air intake, cats removed and a 93 tune. I drive 110 miles round trip to work every day.
Im selling this truck and going back to driving a Duramax diesel daily.

If I had the cash I would be interested! 20-22 MPG would be doable for me. I know I wont get the same mileage as the S-10 I am driving now, but if I can get close, I can make it work.

If this truck had stock wheels and brakes instead of 22's and 15" brakes it would get 2-3 mph better.

they should make another Joe Gibbs edition sb.

That's a damn good looking truck.

Try to find one of those Regency trucks from the early 00's with a 4.8/5 speed.

My old lady's 4.8 never got better than 14 city and 21 hwy

[Sean88gt]

I use to have one. Looking to pick up another, but will probably stick with extended cab this time.

This is what I am afraid of. 90% of my driving is interstate/highway. The other 10% is spent tooling around the subdivision from job to job.

I went by to look at the truck tonight but I couldn't find it. I searched both of their lots. Not sure if it sold, or if it made its way to another one of their dealerships.
