What kind of average fuel mileage can I expect to get with this truck, (listed below) I just got it about three weeks ago and was just wondering what I should expect. It has 171,000 miles on it and I'm pretty sure it has 4:10 gears and has the 6 speed tranny. TIA

 

i've got a similar truck. hand calculated, i'm getting 19 m.p.g. i do have a list of mods that you can see listed. that m.p.g. is unloaded too.

 

I have a 2001 Dually with 43,000mi on it and i get about 17 - 22+mpg on the highway..
and around 15mpg in the city if i keep off the throttle. which is hard to do..
Bone stock execpt a Dual exhaust which is a cat back set up

 

17 at best unless you drive like a retard ( 45, 55 mph)

 

As long as you don't put a flatbed on, I was getting up to 17, even runnig 70. With a flatbed, I'm getting lucky to hit 15 most of the time.

 

Why a cat back? The 01 did not have a cat.

Sorry My Mistake
its like a Y pipe from the Muffler.. pervious owner put a Y pipe from there back with 2 chrome tips
other than that nothing else was messed with

 

Yeah I get about 19 to 20 highway at 55-60 mph. And about 14 city. I like to hear it roar.

 

I get 22-26 on the highway aslong as I keep my foot out of it. By that I mean not doing over 80. I do have 3.55 gears though. and I am bone stock minus muffler and resonator.

 

between 16-17

 

i drive mine everyday stop and go traffic my computer says 18.7 city and highway i will get about 20.but i have some mods and different gears.oh and i have 77,000 miles on her.

 

Scarecrow, do your mileage long hand, my EZ adds 3 mpg to to digital. I'll bet you find the same thing.

 

Scarecrow how in the heck did you get a 3:55 under your 3500 ??

How is it pulling heavy loads ? I contemplate swapping it but the 4x4 kills the project....
