I do not know of any transmission calibration, however both the computer and odometer need to be calibrated to the tire diameter, and final gearing. Are you running 373's or 410's in the rear-end ? Have you changed tire or wheel size? Are you sure the truck is shifting out of the 4X4 mode, running in the automatic setting will reduce MPG also.

Here is a trick I have successfully used for years, Before I leave the dealership, I attach a large strong magnet to the oil filter to trap exactly what you are referring to, I drive 750-1000 miles then perform the first oil change.. Change the oil again when the truck reaches 2500 miles and again at the 5000 mile point. At 5000 miles the truck is broken in, the rings are seated, and I switch to a full synthetic oil, I use Mobile 1.

Well, not really sure. On Jan 21st, I opened my mail and I received a full size brochure with a $1500 off coupon in the mail that said private sale or some such thing. Guess GM marketing knew me better than I knew myself. I was happy with my 2005 Avalanche 1500 LT 4x4 and a 2005 Crown Vic LX. Normally wife and I have 1 car & 1 truck, seems to work well for us. So,I saw the ad and threw it in the trash can. My wife saw the ad in the trash can and said let's go look at one. Next thing, I know...4 days later....2007 Tahoe and no Avalanche. Only thing I can guess is that we purchased a new vehicle each year for the last 5 or 6 years. Whoever is doing GM marketing saw this and assumed I would be open to another new truck. Who knows....

Here is a trick .... I also have been using magnets for decades ... BUT .. Keep in mind .. It only picks up ferrous metals .. NO dirt & crud, non-ferous metals and harmful combustion by-products! ... Another way to look at oil changes is that you are doing an engine flush .. getting rid of ALL the contaminants the magnets & filters can't pickup & hold.

Are these MPG numbers actual calculated values or DIC readings?

I was holding off waxing as I always understood that paint had to cure for about 6 months. Has this changed?

I run regular in my LT-3 with 3500 miles. It is getting average 16.9 in mixed driving but on a 200 mile highway trip I did indeed hit 21.8!! Very light right foot and lots of V4 action.
