but in this case I'm gonna state the most common cause of high mpg on a dodge ram.... incorrect calculations
I get about 13mpg...on the highway
..If ur getting over 14mpg combined city/highway in a 5.9 360, yall need to tell us what u did to get that kind of mileage. My 97 ram has 5.9 360, auto w/ O/D, Heavy Duty pkg AND 4X4 -weighs 10000 lb-...the best mileage I get is 13.8 MPG
Only mods are dual flowmaster 44 exhaust, hypertech power programmer and K&N Air Intake System
i know it's an off road my buddies got one getting 11 but he changed his to 3.55's if i remember right. that's why I was wondering what you were running.
I've pondered 4.56's but not 3.55's, lol think i need to do the plenum , when i first bought the truck i used to be able to get about 315-320 to a tank of gas now i only can get around 250-260 to a tank. also prob should do a compression check someday
He downgraded his gears that low? Holy crap, that must have killed his power.
yea well i think the phrase stupid people do stupid things origianted from him. what's the point of buying an offroad if you're worried about fuel economy?

yea i'm pondering 4.10's in my truck but for the next 2 years I'll be driving 60 miles a day for school so i'll stick with my 3.55's.

don't say stuff like that I bout fell off my chair laughing. that's one reason I bought my ram it's got better pulling power and fuel economy than my last truck. gotta put a thermostat in it though she's running at 150 after an hour of highway driving and going through coolant faster than it should be.
