your truck weighs 3 and a half tons? that might be your problem right there. my truck is not legally allowed to weigh more than 3 ton when it is fully loaded and weighs less than 2 ton normally.

 

Ok maybe I exaggerated but it's still a brick.

 

Mine weighs in at over 5200 pounds empty......

 

Is that your truck or your bladder?

 

Depends on how much beer I have had that day.

 

I've got 3.55 and RWD and I don't get 17mpg...what am I doing wrong?

I think these trucks can get great mileage (for what they are) if you drive like grandpa... There's a member or two here that have proved that theory.....

 

I want to look at my paperwork for some reason I think my truck is around 6400 pounds, I think. I do baby my truck, 60 mph plus I did a bunch of stuff to help it along. Aside from the plenum the single not argueable mpg maker was the electric fans. Before those I was getting low 15's the other thing was ditching my shell.......despite what everyone says I got another 2 mpg from that, I do not know why maybe loosing 200 lbs maybe some aerodynamics I just do not know.

 

I'm thinking that's what mine weigh's too...

 

Supposedly my curb wieght is 6600 pounds but Im kinda skeptical.

Its only a 1500 but it does do 2500 things

 

Nope 6400 is the gross weight meaning fully loaded with cargo is the max safe operating weight. The curb weight is close to 4700 lbs.Hey stewie I will pm you with all of my stuff I have done.
