First tank, filled to click off and rounded up to next 25 cents. Second fill same way
Over head was 14, Hand calc. =14.166. Prety close.
This was a mix of aprox. 70% around town, 20% Hwy, and 10% up the mountain on the Hiway. Its still new, less than 500mi.
I love this truck.

OH, I checked and The back of the alternter has a big 136A lable. Guess the dealer has some splan'n to do.

Scratching the back of my head, could you explain?

Pretty good fuel mileage considering mostly in-town and mountain driving.

yes I would also like to know what the 136a is for. I would infer from it that you have a 136 amp alternator. That sounds big enough for me but I don't know what size it should have..

136 A Alternater

Well, according to Dodge, when you order the snowplow prep. PKG. It includes a 160 A alternator. This was a $80-$90 up charge on the order. It also included a transfer case skid plate,(it's there) and 750 cca battery. It does have two 750 cca batteries.
I could have gotten the skid plate and 750 cca battery and the tow hooks with just the protection PKG. and the tow PKG. at aprox. $90.00 less.
