I went from Georgia to Michigan and got 12.5 mpg on the interstate but in town9.5 to 10 mpg

 

My 1999 V10 only has 30,800 original miles on it...will it get better than 9 hwy / 9 city / 9 towing / 9 unloaded / 9 loaded, after it breaks in? Oh, never mind. On the other hand, it will break the tires loose when I don't want it to. hee hee!

 

my V10 gets 13mpg but it will pull a house off its foundation, gotta love the power

 

8.5 city or highway

 

Looking for some help, I am considering purchasing a 98 DODGE RAM 4X4 8.0L, can anyone tell me what issues/ problems if any has anyone encountered. This would also include the tranny.

Thanks
Bryan

 

It's hard to get aftermarket upgrades, Thats about it.
Tranny is better.
No plenum problem.

 

Completely stock - I get around 10-12 miles per gallon; less if being silly. I would have preferred to get the 318 (5.2L) but I got a good price ($5600) at a federal government auction. No real problems except the transmission does not want to shift up from a stop and it's got so much torque I keep red lining it. Except for needing a new radiator and a frustrating water leak in the upper left of the cab (replacing the windshield helped but did not totally cure) it has cost me nothing to run except a lot of gas.

Good hauler - bad commuter.

 

same as mine 6-7 city 9-10 HWY 99 4x4 QC LB 285 75 16 going back to the stock size
tires.

 

my 4x4 flat deck dually dumper gets 6.5 mt or loaded, usually overloaded with a good amount of city, pretty sure there's a conspiracy with the traffic lights.. but I can pass anything but the gas station and have never had a problem pulling anything I've hooked to!

 

I am looking at getting a 9o dodge ram v10 4x4 is there anything I should be on the look for with the truck
