that was his problem he has a chevy truck... bad mistake...

 

HAD. there wasnt much left of it.

 

well i'm sure checys are built ****y... hopefully he got smart and got a Ram... i never liked my 2000 chevy 3500 6.0L much when i had it

 

that is cool. i wouldn't mind trying to tow that with my 81. you would definitely need a custom hitch to haul something that heavy.

 

yeah i took the factory hitch.. and then reinforced it i've had probably around 15k tongue weight on it before hitch holds up fine but the front tires start getting a little light lol

 

ya. my 81 would have the same problem. back end sit to high thanks to a farm style add a leaf kit. it would have a very light front end without the right hitch

 

so your dodge only gets 10mpg? what motor do u have

 

pretty much. that is the average with my lead foot, 318 and a 4barrel carb. last top up had me at 12mpg but i have had as high as 15mpg and as low as 7.7mpg

 

dang thats not much better than mine i got a 01 dodge 2500 4x4 i got like 9.2mpg.. but i did do my plenum repair... and tune up so i hope that will help

when i bought the truck 4 years ago it has 295/75/16 tires on it.. and i got about 16mpg on the freeway..and like 13in town... but i got bigger tires not 35x1250x20 plug way more miles.... and its a guzzler lol

 

ya. its not great but i know i could do way better if i would just drive like a sane person or finished hooking up my cruise control. next summer i am hoping to fix the bottom end of the 318 that is in my 91 and then put it in my 81. it has a 2 barrel carb with a rv cam so it get good gas mileage even with my lead foot.
