Dodge Diesel - Diesel Truck Resource Forums

;D Well for all you guys that have followed some of my saga. I got my truck out of the shop Thursday night. A sleeve in #6, a head job, KDP fixed (almost all the way out!!) Timing set to 15.5, valves run and $2450.00 later, it runs like a scalded dog!! ;) The four wheel drive not working was a vacuum line off at the front diff. Battery acid took out the Cruise control servo, I still don't know how much fuel I have in it, can't get the pitman arm off (going to front end shop tomorrow AM), but **** what a truck. I took it to work Friday, I pull a trailer with a ditch digger on it (5k lbs) and a heavy trailer another 3500 lbs. Drive about 70 miles to work then in and out of town all day starting and stopping. Since the fuel guage doesn't work I filled it up before I left. Got worried when I started home so I filled it up again. WOW! 248 miles on 12 gallon!! I am impressed! ;D<br>I can't imagine what some of you guys feel when you step down on some of those 300+ hp rams. Thanks for all the suggestions and help. What a truck!!
