2009 Silverado fuel consumption by canayjun64

Hi everyone,
 
I just bought my very first "new" truck yesterday. A lovely 2009 Silverado with a 5.3 litre engine.
 
Seeing that this is my first new vehicle, I have a question in rergards to break-in periods and gasoline consumption.
 
I've only driven 100km (60 miles) and the tank is down 1/4 from a full tank. Now I might sound a bit paranoid but is this normal or will this consumption get better as the engine slowly breaks-in?
 
Can anyone help?

I had a similar problem with my truck and it turned out to be a damaged spark plug wire

Deffinatly put a 350 in it, most full size truck from the 60's up through the 90's had 350 engines in them, depending on how you build it, your can go for gas mileage, pulling power and torque, or speed, a 350 is a great all around engine and they're tough and durable, and if you ever need parts, there are so many of them out there that parts are allways right at hand. Hope this helps but then again this is just my opion.
Thanks Chris

Key Chime sound not sounding by bobb59

My 2006 Silverado used to have a chime sound if the key was left in the ignition and the door was opened. It quit making that sound and also the large speaker in the driver side door has no sound coming out of it at times. Could these two issues be related in some way?

Yes the trucks in those years, until present i think, have the door chime, seat belt alarms ect. all tied into the sound system, do you by any chance have a LT truck with bose sound system in it, i have an 06 with a bose system in it and when you pull the key during the chime you can hear the static in the speakers until the amp shuts off, but if you have sound not comming from one speaker at times i'd say you have a bad channel on your amp, or maybe the whole amp is going out, i'm assuming the truck is out of warrenty by now unless it has extreamly low miles, otherwise that is gonna be a spendy amp to replace from GM or you can probably find a used one, if you don't have bose then you can probably find a head unit on ebay for a resonable price. Hope this helps your problem. Thanks Chris

Transmission swap 4L60E to 700R by robnrobn2000
Jun 30, 2009 (10:35 am)

I have a 94 1500 with a 4L60E and this is the second trans that has gone bad as far as I know (maybe more. lol). I want to put a 700R trans in it (The 700R is allot tougher trans that's why I wanna put it in. The 4L60E is electronically shifted and they are pretty much junk to me) and I know it will bolt up and have to have a passing gear cable for it. My question is the wiring harness on the 4L60E has 12 and the 700R has a 4 plug adapter but only 3 wires are live 1 is just plastic plug. (I cant find no adapter) Does anyone know what wire I need to tap into to get the 700R to shift? Thank you!!!
