Diesel mileage...

It's a 2367....
but I was "jokingly" complaining about the mileage. 12-13 MPG with one of these is pretty much unheard of; and the power is way more than enuff, especially with the LP turned on.
MPG
The DEF fluid is needed every 7500 to 15000 miles depending on how you use the truck (towing vs. highway) so every oil change you may spend $15.00 to $30.00. Not very expensive if your getting 18+++,I have real world experience with this motor and real world miles it has been driven over 10 million before introduction. With the proper gear rations you can get in excess of 25 MPG (TRUE !!) They have seen some breakage but that is before introduction to the public (Test trucks). This is a FORD motor and they spent $600 million dollars in developement on there own motor, no more International Navistar motors, Ford motors!

Somewhere between too dumb to quit and flat earth
Prove it.
I don't think i will ever buy a newer truck, i already have the best one made. When i get my tuning done, suncoast in, and twin turbo's, i will still have less into it than any of the new trucks and have mroe power, better fuel economy, and a bigger smile.

2005 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 500 HP FREEWAY CRUISING 65MPH 22-24 MPG...
FULL THROTTLE 8-10 IF LUCKY WOULD BE MORE HP IF I HAD MORE MONEY.
THESE NEW TRUCKS COST TO MUCH FOR WHAT WE PAY FOR FUEL...
IF YOU BOUGHT A BIG BLOCK GAS MOTOR AND JUST DROVE IT YOU WOULD SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DO THE MATH BEFORE KNOCKING ME DOWN...
WHAT THE PRICE DIFFERENT BETWEEN A GAS -DIESEL TRUCK ????? AFTERMARKET PARTS ???? PRICE DIFFERENT GAS-DIESEL....
DON'T GET ME WRONG I'LL TAKE A DIESEL OVER ANY GA TRUCK
THIUS IS JUST MY 2 CENTS....

I just hope they all start to prioritise milage over having 700'/# of trq in a pickup!

23 mpg running @ 80 mph.......BS
maybe @ 55/60mph but not at 80, takes too much hp @ 80 mph to move a 8000lbs truck shaped like a brick.
I have a 2001 Dodge. It has stage III injectors (90 hp), cold air intake, 4" exhaust, Air Dog fuel pump, Predator chip (although this is rarely on), and probably other things and I get 17-18 consistently. I have driven on the highway at 65 without screwing around and got 20.4 (personal best). I have towed a 28' trailer with four sleds, all our gas, clothing and 4 adults etc and got 14 mpg. I got down to 13 mpg once towing a camp trailer across Montana in the wind.
One thing I have noticed is most people don't have a clue on how to figure fuel mileage. They look at the computer and if they are coasting that is the mileage they will tell everyone. I have seen this at least three times. Actual mileage is a lot less, but they saw that they were getting 10+ mpg better. I don't have a computer in my truck so I have to do the math at the fuel station.
But then EVERYONE I know gets better mileage than I do.
A 12 valve with 450 hp getting 22 mpg...
COME ON GET REAL.

This is a good comparason by an independant unbiased tester on trucks that were built in different years
haha and by different methods. everyone knows the lie o meter gauge to be off, and if you are hand calculating, how close is your speedo and are you fill to the same point every time. oh well at least mine with 37s will get 25 mpg towing a fifth wheel at eighty into a headwind and uphill, im not complaining!
j/k i can get about 17 empty on the highway with everything in my sig, 12-13 towing an enclosed, if i am nice to the skinny pedal
