Thats right! How do you guys even know if your truck is running? You guys must go through alot of starters cause you keep hitting the starter cause you don't know it's running!

Welcome David or Dave. What do you prefer?

If you are wondering about the 3,333 posts, Dave or someone else can fill you in.

What type of mpg you seeing with that 6.2?

Thanks for the invite. Actually, I am going out to camp this weekend up near Taylors Falls with my family and the in-laws. I'll take a look at the camping GTG thread.

Hi Lee. I usually go by David. I am not too curious about the 3,333 posts but suspect it is meant to best last month's tally.

As for mpg's I have been averaging about 13.6 driving combined and 16.2 on the free way at 72mph -- and that's with an open bed and the tail gate up in no wind. I got a topper installed today and am curious to see how that changes the mileage, but I am guessing that I'll get an increase of about 1.2 - 1.5.

Dave, you better hide Friday because I will run you over!

But don't worry, you will probably see me drive by and turn around. I may need to borrow Eric's Dodge loaner truck.

We tease Lee about the number 3. Longish story there.

The weight of that topper will likely offset any mileage gain

That is way better than my V10.

The 3,333 has nothing to do with post count, it is because I apparently can not count or do simple math. Everyone else thinks it is hilarious. Especially Dave.

Evening Jay & Troy & Cory

I am going to be stopping by Midway Iron in St Cloud on my way out to the GTG on Friday if anyone needs some steel.

I guess they had to make you say it -- I could tell there was a story in there some where.

I might be getting better gas mileage but I have 2 less cylinders.
