If fuel savings is your number one priority for your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3L V8, I recommend using the Edge Gas Evolution CTS3 Performance Tuner, # EP49YR, for a few reasons.
The tuner does improve gas mileage, but usually only about 10% Keep in mind, a tuner is going to optimize your engines performance, which means the harder you drive, the more fuel the engine will consume.
Lastly, this tuner comes with a 5-inch touch screen which is one of the largest and clearest screens on the market.
If you don't have a backup camera, you can also use the monitor with the Edge Backup Camera, # EP98201. Also, most tuners, including the Edge Evolution typically only show a fuel mileage savings of around 1-2 mpg. Your biggest fuel savings will come from the Mileage Coach which will show you how your driving style impacts your mileage.
