The long body is finally getting BBP tuned!!

The data logs have been sent and I am just waiting for the tune files to come back this week after the holiday weekend.

Thx to @randeez for the AutoCal.

This will be the best mod you do on that burb! Even to this day this mod is at the top of my list of things I've done to mine in the 8 1/2 years I've owned it. Makes such a huge difference in how it drives.

Yessir. Agreed with the above.

Excited to see how the truck responds and if my wife even notices. Lol

You'll know she noticed when it comes back like @swathdiver and @Galante with mpg in single digits.

Just got an updated tune over the weekend and installed it but haven't wrung it out yet, tonight maybe. Too hot and too much traffic.

Yeah the stop-and-go in the urban flat jungle does not help the MPGs one bit.

Great!! Should be good. I got up before 0600 to make my data log last week, so that I didn't get stuck in traffic, didn't get in trouble being gone in the wife's DD.... and to also make part of that run out on I-95 before it got choked up.

Where we run errands is like Oakland Park Blvd between I-95 and US1 and US1 between Oakland and Commercial. If you get up to speed you have to slow for lights and traffic. Seems like there's barely a 1/4 mile between lights and stop signs. I started out this morning with the DIC on 18.1 MPG and finished my errands, including lunch with my wife, at 13.2 MPG.

I do my full power runs for the datalogs on the I-95 ramps up here.

Sound exactly what I am talking about. I ran Oakland to I95 to Commercial to US1 to Oakland. Could barely get the WOT and beyond and then worry about the po-po when hitting it's stride or a red light or driveway lurker ready to pop out without looking.

Suburban MPG is pitiful in FLL.

I do my WOT on the ramps, get off at the next exit and right back onto the ramp and so on until 3 or 4 are done. You could do go WOT at Oakland and at Commercial and McNab (long run there) and turn around at Atlantic and go WOT there and on McNab again then head for the barn. The stop and go to and from are helpful for tuning too.

My grandparents lived on 19th Ave behind the Mai-Kai and of course that's where I grew up (one of the places), born in Hollywood.

You might consider putting the Suburban on E85. My mileage average difference between Gas and E85 is about 2.8 mpg and $.02 a mile less expensive to drive compared with 93. Our worst mileage on E85 was still equal to a decent tank on 93 price wise.
