i was trying to see how long it would take me to speed in my 2000 when i got it, i made it about a month not going over 55, now i just like doing quick little 1st gear pulls

I do those occasionally I've found I get better mileage at 65-70 that at 60-65. Idk why but at 65 I get 18.7 mpg on 285s so I'll take it.

 

[silverado13]

shooot you get better then me, i averaged 17.8 on a trip to houston

 

[962000chevy]

When she was on 265/75r16s I routinely got 19.7-21.4 back and forth to work. These heavy ass Toyos hurt a bit though.

 

[silverado13]

thats crazy, i dont think my kuhmo road venture AT 265s hurt that bad

 

[962000chevy]

The guy who installedy tires was surprised at the weight of them, they're E range but 13k in and I have no measurable tread loss. But I rotate ever 4.5-5k(every oil change)

 

[silverado13]

id imagine weight has alot to do with it, whats the overall weight of your truck

 

[962000chevy]

I've never scaled her without a trailer but Edmunds says an ECSB LT Z71 weighed 4621 so I'll guess between my 240 lb self and my full tool box plus fuel I'm probably close to 5200 ish

I love my Corsa...

 

[silverado13]

whoooh..... when i had my truck inspected they put it on a scale, and i swear that sucker said 6400...... and i have a 2000 Z71 ECSB, with nothing extra in it, not even me

 

[962000chevy]

Edmunds must've been way off then. Id guess our trucks are the same weight or so.

 

[silverado13]

i was completely thinking that 6400 sounded like a bit much considering that ive taken my 1997 Z71 ECSB to the city dumb and had it on the scale and it was like 5250 and thats with me in it

 

[962000chevy]

The dump trailer I towed across the scales weighed about 3500 lbs empty and my empty weight was right around 8800.

 

[silverado13]

cant argue with that, so about 5300, id like to re weigh my 2000

 

[silverado13]

well look what came in today

 

[silverado13]

truly tragic, i really wanted to wait till the weekend to instal it but as soon as i took it out the box, i knew it had to be today

 

[02Beast]

I wanna see some of the install

 

[silverado13]

im not going to lie, i found something out today....on tv, when they install a catback, there is one thing in common, they all have a lift, getting the stock exhaust out in one piece with nothing but 1 jack, really wasnt fun, but i got it

 

[silverado13]

sorry matt, i was trying to get it done before it was dark, plus it was raining, so i couldnt take any pictures while i was doing it, but tomorrow im going to try to record a video of the exhaust, plus ill take pics of each segment on the truck and do a mini write up for it
