HAHAHA! I remember a post like that, but I don't think it was on this forum. It was a few years ago and a bunch of guys were trying to talk some sense in to him but I think it was in vain. I remember laughing so hard at that thread my stomach hurt. I don't know if it was the same one that you saw....but it was pretty good entertainment!

I work with alot of guys driving 1 ton dually Dodges claiming 22 mpg and 15 pulling 12-16k trailers. I was getting 15 and 9 pulling my trailer(16K) and put Banks Power PDA(best decision I ever made) and now I get 15 and 12. I need an exhaust and intake still, but are any of ya'll really getting 22 unmodded.

You will come to regret that statement.

At least I man up and just admit I didn't know any better.

My 05 got great mileage modded unloaded.. Loaded was normally 10-12. I cracked an injector body, and got fuel in the oil.. I then decided I needed a stock truck to pull the trailers.. So I returned it to stock. Bad idea.. For whatever reason, the mileage is horrible. Around 12 mpg unloaded, and as bad as 6.0 mpg loaded hand calculated.. UGH..
