I m in the process of buying an 07 6.7 l 3500 4x4 Megacab for the wife two questions

1) - What fuel milage # s are people seeing - Real #s
2) - Are the problems with the 6.7 L worked out ? and dont say there were not problems - my dealer in alberta - had to take back an 07 6.7 cab & chas. truck do to problems they - dealer - dc could not fix.

Thanks

 

Well I had my for almost a week now the mileage started off about 13 mpg and now I am about 16 mpg with 700 miles on it. So far I like it alot.

 

we have our since 1 month...compare to a 5.9 expect to lose 1 or sometime 2 mpg.....due to the dpf regeneration when need it..and all the crappy stuff on the engine!!

but i must admit...the truck have now 2500 kilometer..(1562 killes) on it,and the tip exhaust is clean clean clean.......when i put my finger to check for the soot!!!

 

Rstone, is your 2500 a cab & chassis????

 

Can't get a 2500 C&C... he just has an amalgamation of transmissions listed in his signature....

 

1) fuel mileage - +-10 mpg pulling a trailer, depending on load, 15+ running bobtail
2) don't know about any problems, I have 31,550 miles on my truck and haven't done anything but change oil and filters. You are the one that mentions problems, what were they. I see you are in Canada, if they are the ones with the stopped up DPF, I believe that was traced to long idleing and running the wrong fuel. If there is something else, I'd like to know about it myself.

 

Well I got confused I thought that the 68re was a aisin transmission but I got it fix now

 

I thought you could always get a 2500 cab & chassis???? but the Aisin was the reason for the question, Dusty

 

You can definitely get a SRW cab & chassis.

 

To my knowledge, they are not producing a 2500 C&C. They are producing a SRW 3500 C&C.

 

I think you can order a 2500 and select the Bed Delete option. You get ripped off by only getting a $400 credit. Much smarter to buy the truck with the bed and sell the bed or part it out.

 

The CC is 3500 only. 2500's would be considered a box off.

 

With just less than 5K on our truck we are seeing about 15-16 mpg in the city 12-13 with a 24ft unloaded flatbed and anywhere from 7-10mpg loaded. Our biggest load we have tested with was 14K lbs plus the trailer weight and we were fighting a 20-25moh headwind. We got 6.8mpg running 70mph.

I can tell you there is a large difference from 70-75mph as well. The rpms stay low but if the boost gauge is above about 4-6psi it is drinking fuel!

 

Any idea what the city/hwy mileage would be on 2500 4X4 CC with the 6.7 and 68rfe with 3.73 gears?

Trying to figure out if I would break even after 5 years/150,000 kms versus a gasser. I know you have to consider resale, maintenance and interest as well.

Thanks.

 

and TORQUE...and POWER...and all of those ENVIOUS LOOKS!
