How Far?

How far are you guys getting on a tank? I'm driving a '06 250 and i get about 520 mi for in and around miles and about 550 on the highway sometimes push it up to 600 mi. I don't even know how big the tank is. I usually put in around 30-34 gal per fill. Just wondering what the mileage per gallon worked out to.

My 05 CC has a 38.5 gal tank. Depending on my right foot I get between 500-720 miles per tank.

I have so many questions. I just got my truck a year and a half ago but its my first diesel and i don't know much about them. love my truck so far though. i've also been wondering what kind of aftermarket stuff is safe i.e. exhaust and lift and what isn't as far as wear and warranty are concerned. can im make it quieter? i'd like to lift it a little but not more than a few inches. don't really know where to begin.

Read your warranty in the book carefully. Engine mods, chips, exhaust, intake could void the engine warranty. Just be carefull and informed. One dealer might cover something and another might not.

Everyone posting in this thread should give an approx weight of there vehicle it will give a little better idea of the work the truck is doing to get these numbers. My '07 weighs 300lbs shy of 10000lbs when empty.
