Yes it does, only problem is they filled it up with 87 . It gets roughly the same MPG as my 5.3 did lol (About 18.5 on the highway).

Sell me the exhaust off of it

They run good, really all you need is a good tune and tcm tune. A set of lpp headers, and a good drop in filter is all I would do until you throw a tvs 1900 on it.

Nice buy! 18.5 isn't bad, my 5.3 gets right at 20MPG, I would take the small decrease for the extra power!

Nice truck. I prefer the look of the new GMC's front fascia setup over the Chevrolet's. I plan to pick one up myself soon, just a RCSB though. Congratulations on the new purchase!

Cool homie. Wanna help a brotha move? Just Kidding.

Now you gotta put that truck to use! There's no better way to break in a truck than to do the following:
