at least eb290 knows how to fill out a sig
and this thread is about the first year,not the history of an old vehicle;unless you are implying you drive 500k a year

That might have something to do with the problems.
The two dealerships I deal with both told me they've had very few emissions problems with the C&C's. I've had mine for 9 months and no problems what so ever. I'm averageing 9.6 mpg with a trailer and I got 16.2 once empty with a tail wind. Mine isn't as broke in though. Only 15,000 miles.

Right behind ya EB with 84k miles on my pickup. Mine is only 7 months old - bought in April 2007. So far only EGR problems and I think we finally got that taken care of with the flashes. Fuel mileage still sucks though.

Glad it's working good for you. what is your MPG now? (I think if your getting 10-11 towing and 16.5-17 empty your doing good, but thats just me )
