Okay okay enough about oil back to this 20mpg.. and dlyter09 your ram makes your wallet skinny? My ram makes mine fatter driving me to work everyday

 

Yea well i havent worked a full time job in over a year and a half so it empties my wallet fast lol

 

^^ Yup, when you're part time or no time these trucks drain the wallet QUICK! I'm still not gonna hold my breathe on the 20MPG write up...

 

Lol yea it drains away quick

 

Haha I work 50s at least and drive like 5 miles. Even with the 33s I don't use half a tank

 

I bought my truck with 70k on it and changed every fluid from the front to the rear, did a water pump, radiator flush etc. Drove it 1000 miles all highway from tucson to dallas and averaged about 16.8. That's a reg cab, short bed 5.2 2wd. So I really want to know how you get 20. Cause even if the Rotella slicks better (I use Royal Purple full synthetic so I doubt there is a noticeable difference) it's not going to equate to that kinda mileage.

 

I think one important Q here is @ what speeds is the op driving at. I used to get 16mpg out of my truck but that was at 55mph.

 

Maybe he hauls his truck on a tilt bed he was talking about hauling haha

 

Well, we get 20 MPG on 55 mph highway. Before I continue this thread much more, i am going to do some major work on the engine, because it is running poorly and then remeasure the mpg. Then I will post back again.

 

But driving 55 isn't always practical.
