I drove both today also. The 600 seemed alot more peppier.

The 600 got 17.4 mpg while the 555 only got 13.6 on the same route.

600's are QUICK!

So my buddy and I finally get to line them up tonight.

His:
3G, 600, short bed, 4x2, CC., auto, and is bone STOCK

Mine:
2001.5, short bed, 4x2, Ext. Cab, Comp Box(on 5x5), Full DTT with 91% TC, PE4200 pump., HX35, and open element AFE., stright pipe, and a few other goodies that add a little but not much.

Results:
If he knew how to drive it we would have been even, if not ahead of me.

If he had an intake like the AFE then I would be scared ALMOST poop-less.

Also we filled up, drive 149 miles, filled up again and got the same milage. I know 149 miles is not a "true" indacator, but it's SOME WHAT of a compairsion. We both avaraged 21.x

These 600's are great trucks, smooth too!


I think I still want mine................

I look forward to hearing what kind of mileage you get Tedroe, I bet it will be better than most with a short bed 2WD.

I'm really looking forward to getting this new truck. I just sold my 03 hemi. I really liked that truck but it really wasn't made to tow what I tow. I was only getting around 11mph with it empty and about 7mpg towing. It sure wouldn't keep up with my 01 CTD.
