trade it in for a hemi....i'm getting 19+ mpg on the interstate and 14-15 in town. The hemi's on average are getting the same or little better fuel mileage than the 4.7L.

Durango Rock did you replace the air filter? Did it help add some mpg?

At 10K I replaced the air filter with a K & N replacement filter. Drove to Yellowstone from Sheridan WY, and average about 21 mpg which included some really tough mountain driving. Overall I saw about a 1 mpg gain and is slightly more responsive from a dead stop.

I agree with the above. Put a K & N filter on my 4.7 when I bought it. Am averaging 21.5 on the highway and roughly 15 in town....which doesnt seem too bad to me especially for this heavy truck.
