I am getting as bad if not worse 11.3 hauling 1 horse in Sooner @ 60 MPH 11.2 hauling 0 horse in Sooner @ 75-85 MPH not impressed same trailer on a 98.5 with 5spd and 3.55's wih 4 horses and enough crap for a 3 day show with 5 women getting 14.7 mph @ 80+ |
I got 9.5 to 10 with my 40' gooseneck empty and and 10.5 with my 25' gooseneck both of these are flatbeds
|
sux don't it
|
I told D.C. when they called about a survey i told them if i had known that the fuel mileage was going to be that bad i would have bought a ford
|
i would have searched for a 2ns gen with low miles
t I loved my 98.5with 3.55 thinking about a double OD probably will void the warnty though |
22.5" tires might do the trick
|
3.55 suck for towing anything with real weight.Been that route.

I find that the shifting on my G56 is a bit notchy. It tends to crunch a bit on the 4-5 shift even with a slow row with full clutch depression. It's fine though if you double clutch it.
Anyone else experience this? |
what really sucks is thinking your in 2nd but in reverse and a red light and trying to take off
|
Are you speaking from experience?
|
yes i am[duhhh] [duhhh] that will teach you you quick

You guys are gonna have put more miles on your CTD. Mine fuel mile wasn't to great until I broke the 20k mark. I averaged around 14-15mpg, now I get around the 20-22mpg area. Thats so long ago I almost forget. Too bad once the motor breaks in the rest of the truck falls apart. Mine has 200k on it and the doors are starting to rust.

I love the trans and although my mileage isn't as good as the old 03 I traded in, I'm sure it will get better. I average 14-15 city. 16 if I don't sit in too much traffic. I just pulled my trailer around for 3 days and got around 11-12mpg depending on how hard I pushed it. I have gotten a best of almost 19mpg highway. I only have about 5500 miles on it though. I haven't seen 500 miles to a tank yet but I don't let it get below 1/4 tank before filling up. 890 miles sounds kind of crazy to me but who am I?!?!?
