Just got me a 2004 Dakota Sport club cab 4.7 5man 4wd. Only got 39k miles. Runs great, very happy with it. Only thing is I am only getting 15-16 miles to the gallon mixed driving. Highway driving was not any better though. Anything I should check for around this milage that previous owner might not have? It had 265 tires on it, that should hurt the milage alittle, but was hoping for atleast 20 on the highway and 16-17 mixed. I am babying is pretty hard.

Thanks,
Justin

 

for starters welcome and congrats on the new rig... and 4wd is a milage reducer... also check your 02 sensors and maybe it's time she gets a tune up

 

o2's can do that a lot. Also check your cat converter though I dought with that millage anything is wrong with it yet...
