Looking at 07 5.9 mega cab leftover, what's the highway mileage between 3.73 and 4.10
It is not the 5.9 causing the poor mileage... It is going 70-80 that affects the mileage.. If JCleary tried keeping rpm under 2000 from the startup and limited max highway to 65 MPG would go up.
I can make my mileage go down to 15 if I drive it hard. If I drive it like I normally do I get 17mpg avg (50% highway and 50% around town). Don't blame the 5.9 as it is the driver that is USUALLY the cause of poor mileage.

I'm about to throw some 35's on this one. I better hurry and get a Smarty so I can finish off the stock tranny...
Well I got tired of the game the dealership was playing. They had added roughly 700 dollars of aftermarket additions and wanted almost 1800 for them. I also fund out that the truck that was to be there was sold a week ago so it was only the mega cab with the 4.10 left and basically they wouldn't budge on the price. The truck was built 10/06. It was basically the same deal as buying an 08 truck. ****** I drove out and on the way home stopped at a chvy dealership and was looking for a diesel 4wd crewcab with a front bench seat. Window sticker 2 grand more than the mega cab and I got it for 35 dollars less a month and it's the new body style.
What I found interesting is that the dodge dealership was asking me if I wanted a 2007 dodge quad cab with the 3.73 rears and 5.9 cummins. What's most interesting is that they had sold it the night before since I saw the deal get closed as I was waiting for my saleman.
FYI I know where there are two 5.9 dodge cummins left in allentown. Rothrock auto, but good luck.
