It's been a tough winter, but the D has performed flawlessly (knocking on wood now). Mud season is right around the corner....YAY!!!

 

Yeah, well my D hasn't given me any real issues. She starts up fine for having a bad fuel pump. and the high rpm thing makes sense with what hydra says. so i'm gonna say durangos are pretty golden lol

Mud season huh? never been mudding before.

 

at 55 mine sets around 1750 and as high as 2000 at 60......im gettin around 350 or 360+ miles per fill up around 27 1/2 gallons....what equates to i dont know...but i get pretty good gas milage but would love to get better...lol

 

but ironicaly i get 100 miles out of the filler neck on a long trip......someone tell me how thats posible?

 

That's probably not actually all out of the neck. There's something about the way the gas gauge works on these things.

I can fill my tank and make two round trips to work before the gauge moves. Then on the third trip it drops about an eighth of a tank. The last trip, at the bottom end of the gauge, takes over a quarter tank....

 

well 360 miles per tank and 27 gallons is 13 mpg or so. those are high rpms 2000 rpm at 60 miles? normal for me is at 70 miles per hour i'm around 1900 rm just slightly less than 2000 rpm.

 

durangos have 26 gallon tanks. how do you fill up 27.5 gallons? mine stops itself around 19 gallons.

 

26? my build sheet says 25, so i too would like to know how you get more than 25 in the tank at a time, most i have ever done is 21gallons, and i was worried i wasnt going to make it to the gas station. :O

 

I've actually put 25 gallons in mine. My overhead console read "DTE 0" for what felt like an eternity. I was so desperate for a gas station, they could have charged me $8/gal and I would have paid it. Not a good idea by the way... You literally get the bottom of the barrel and your fuel pump gets overworked and overheated.

 

I can run my D until it says 10 miles DTE on the overhead and can only fit 22 gallons including the 2 gallons or so the neck can take.

Did they make different tank sizes for these trucks...?
