4L80E? I would guess. How much does it weigh?

Yes unfortunately.. leaking from both ends. Supposed to weight 14.5k empty. Averages 9.2 - 9.5mpg.

 

[ls1mike]

The transmission is leaking? Man mine has been great.

Your setup weight probably a little more than mine loaded.

I was at 14,600ish loaded for 5 days of camping on the Cat scales with my 6.0 truck and trailer. I get 8 to 10 towing.


What gears does it have?

 

[wander2039]

From what I read the leaking can be common.. maintenance probably is a big key. Does shift perfect though. Not sure on the gears haven't decoded it yet. It has plenty of power really have to push it up the hills. You can tell when the tanks are filling up! I've drove alot of shuttle buses and grew up around Class C's so that's what I'm comfortable with.

The only thing I really don't like is technically not supposed to pull anything above 2k.. pulling a car is out of the question for long trips. Probably still will if we're close and staying more than 3 days.

 

[ls1mike]

My 6.0 loves 4000 to 4200 rpm on the big hills! But being LS based that is where it is designed to live.

 

[mjoekingz28]

How do you clean the roof of the cab?

It looks like it'd be tough to get an arm in there.

I don't think a tach was a option with van's. Would like to have a stock cluster with a tach vs a aftermarket. Eventually I want to add one.

Gets cleaned 1-2 year. That's not the hard part.. the underneath and front of the upper cab is the worst! I typically wait till a good rain.

 

[mobilaltima]

my buddy has a '12 2500 Chevy extended cab long bed with the 6.0, we towed a 7600 lb camper from Louisiana to Pennsylvania in April, worst mpg was 7.3, best was 9.8, on the way home, without the camper, we averaged 16 mpg.
