To 600 owners w/poor mpg

If you are interested, check out the TDR website and look at the thread : "04.5 mpg".....toward the end these guys are contacting Cummins/DC and they are acknowledging that there is a problem with economy. I am calling them right now.

I'm going to give it a little longer and see if winter fuel changes anything. I'm at 4000 miles and am getting 14.5-15.1.

My 04 4x4 6 speed with 4.10s gets a low of 15 at 75 plus and better than 20 if kept below 60 for a full tank. It did not start get its best mileage until after 20K.
