where did you get over 10K for your truck? KBB excellent is just over 6k. with 100k on the clock, not sure about yours.

51K miles, Quad Cab, Power door locks, windows, etc. KBB says over $11K

 

the MILEAGE, now i believe it. damn only 51? nice.

trade it for a clean r/t or if you want power for cheap add methanol injection.

 

Haha nah man. R/T doesn't have 4 doors. And gets 12 mpg. When I hit it big I will get an R/T (the truck I wanted, and almost got, when I was 16) and put a bigass turbo and a 200 shot on it. For now, I'm good with 20 mpg, but I'm not good with 0-60 in 10 seconds. If I had to do it all over again I would get my exact truck with the V8.

I got my truck in April of last year with 17k miles on it for $12,200. Put over 30k miles on it and only depreciated $1000? SWEET!! KBB on the truck when I bought it was over $14k. I stole a truck from the Stealership!!

 

wow, if you get that tuner and methanol injection you will be lighting up tires all day.billy told me i would get around 70hp more with injection at the tire.

im sure over 30-40 will be obtainable with your set up, you do have a QC they weigh alot, so start stripping out the interior like me. if i had 300 bucks to spend on my truck that would and will be my next mod.

 

Lol the whole reason I got a quad cab was so I could have EXTRA interior!! I don't want it to be a dragster, and I dont need a 14 second 1/4 mile. But fer ***** sake this 17 second 1/4 mile is reeeedonkulous. When I was shopping for trucks I ruled out a V8 because my boat that I tow only weighs like 2500 lbs, my truck is rated to tow 5000, and I wanted fuel economy. The truck does weigh like 4600 lbs though....V6 is just inadequate.

MY fuel economy is great for a truck, I get 18 mpg in the city and once on a trip to the Florida Keys (500 miles round trip) I didnt even have to refill my gas tank. Got over 24 mpg @ 70-75 MPH. That's all fine and dandy and I made a "responsible" decision by getting the V6, but if I had to do it all over again I would trade 3-4 mpg for another 50 hp and 70 torques.

Not gonna do methanol injection, I need this thing to get 140-150k miles on it.

I have been thinking about getting 3.73 gears...I have 3.55's now. I think I would get better mpg in teh city because right now my truck bogs off hte line and I really have to get on it to get it up to 55 mph...I would lost 1-2 mpg on the highway, but I can live with 21-22 mpg all day long. I think that, plus the tune, and a Fastman TB, might get me to where I wanna be, without sacrificing fuel economy too much. 0-60 of 9 seconds and a 16 second 1/4 mile time would do just fine....and those 3 mods should only cost around $1000 all together.

 

methanol isnt like Nos, its just water and methanol or you can use -20F wiper fluid. you cant really blow anything up with it.

500miles on 1 tank? thats 2 fillups for me. i get 16.

 

You saying I can dump wiper fluid in my gas tank and all teh sudden I'm gonna haul ***? IF so, I might give it a go.

 

not in the gas, but down the throttle body. and by dump i mean, a fine mist using a special nozzle and pump.
