My MPG numbers are what I calculated. There seems to be nothing others can say that you won't dispute if it doesn't align with your personal experience, whatever reason it may be.

If you are going to continue to call strangers liars even when given numbers, then I will say it here: You are a disgrace to the flag, and should learn to drive properly.

Torque numbers on the graph aren't what you said and you haven't shown any proof of your hand calculated MPG numbers.

So you make more power than peak torque but it's at a higher rpm?

Well, this can go both ways. Just because you own a 4.30 geared truck doesn't mean they are better.

From car and driver. I'd say our 7.3 is nearly perfect

I’m not picking sides in this ridiculous argument as I am able to comprehend that individual use scenarios and personal choices as well as how we as owners choose to spend our money and how that choice really isn’t anyone else’s business are part of what makes this country great. It would be great if those arguing above (and I’m sure more to come below….) could open their minds up a little and just agree to disagree like civilized members of this community.

That graph actually shows about 110 HP at 1500 RPMs, so 110 X 5252 = 577,720 divided by 1500 = 385 ft/lbs which is 81% of the peak torque of 475 ft/lbs shown in that graph. Again, I am not picking sides here, just doing math…….

Yes, that how engines work.

I will be going with the 3.73 (with locker) UNLESS I decide to add the Tremor package, which only allows the 4.30...

And 5 pages later, the conundrum continues........ How to start a forum brawl in 3 easy steps. Make thread that is oil type, gas vs diesel, or what gears. Gauranteed to have many many many posts argueing between 3-4 different users.
