Yeah it should haul fine

 

well i have done about 130 miles in a half a tank so far... is this normal?

i had thought i would be getting more but i guess not.... i can easily do 150-170miles in half a tank on my SD

 

which tank?

27,30, or the big one...35.7 I think


sounds like you have the 27 gallon tank. my 30 gallon tank nets me about 170-180 at a 1/2 tank with city MPG


you also have to remember that these gas tanks keep a huge reserve. I filled up yesterday and my needle was below the 1/4 tank point. I put 21 gallons into it...so 9 gallons were in "Reserve"

 

im actually not sure which tank i got.. ill have to look at the sticker.. i woudl think it would be the 27gal....

even if i ge 300 miles out of the whole tank.. and if i have 27gal tank thats only 11mpg

and i baby this thing... i really hope its gonna get a lot more than that or i think i would of made a bad decision on a truck....

i need it to be in the 15+

15+ mpg city?

not likely. you should easily expect 15+ mpg highway...and mixed as well. city only will net you about 13 MPG...+/- 1 MPG

 

lol i should of bought another diesel

oh well.. im stuck now... anyone ever try that hydrogen fuel cell thing thats out right now?

it doesn't work, it will harm your vehicle and I will endlessly make fun of you


the HHO bull**** is exactly that

 

I'm getting anywhere from 8.5-14.5 MPG's with mine. The 8.5 is towing the camper on some of thoes Pa interstate hills.. and the 14.0 14.5 is flat driving on the interstate.. I'm also turning 35 inch tires... I have the 3'flowmaster exhaust (cat back) K&N air intake and filter throttle body spacer edge box to watch the temps.. I'm happy with my truck..

hm i might have to think about moding the truck.... ill have to take into consideration how long it would take me to pay back the initial cost of paying for the mods and see if its worth it for an extra 1-3mpg....

what intake does everyone use? i know on the diesels the top 2 brands i sell are AFE and S&B..

 

Your truck is brand-new right? How many miles are on it now?

Most modulars take a number of miles to fully break-in. When they do, usually the power increases as does the mileage.

 

has about 220 miles total on it....

 

I d belive my EDGE box was a 400.00 doller bill well spent... I did the exhaust and intake at the sametime. then i added the edge in dec of last year and the t-body spacer in july. As for intake i'm just using a normal K&N filter and intake no bells and whistles... Again towing the toy hauler i got about 175 miles out of a tank of gas normaly close to 300... i have the 27 gal tank.

Cool! Time for the first oil change.

I wouldn't even track MPG until you hit 2K. Then you can watch it go up once you get around 5K on it. Most say 7500 is the magic mark. For some V10's, 15K! is the magic mark.

Make sure you romp on it every now and then. Babied engines develop rings issues later in life.

 

cool thanks for the advice... im not used to a gasser truck... all i have ever owned were diesels... PSD

feels weird going to a drive threw and not having to turn off the truck lol

Diesels require MORE romping since they can run cooler.
