sorry to hear about your problems... more sorry to hear about your future problems with your chevy...and ill send you my cell number so i can come tow you out of the mud puddles your gonna get stuck in... but have fun!

 

nice reply shott

and hey the rams dont really get super good gas mileage LOL

and sounds like u got a lemon [:'(]

 

yea i know boo hoo poor me.i just ordered tires for about 850 also man what a bad deal.lucky for me i got the resources to fix the damn thing i guess.hey could the cat converter have anything to do with the crappy fuel milage. on a serious note i would never ever ever buy a chevy never...

 

I get about the same gas mileage so when u figure it out let me know.

 

10.8 out of a 5.9? I get about 17 highway with my 5.2 with no tonnue cover. Only performance mod is my Magnaflow Exhaust. I did replace my cat because it got clogged and that probably helped my MPG. However I was stupid and got a regular aftermarket one, not a highflow Magnaflow or anything

As for the cracked T-Case, Wow. I NEVER heard of that on ANYTHING!

And don't feel bad, every time something on mine breaks too I get all pissed and say I'm gonna go get a 4-sale sign as soon as its fixed [&:]

 

I just switched from Chevy to Dodge. I like my 01 so far (except for poor throttle response in 5th gear). I loved my 84 Chevy, but it no longer suited my needs. Do yourself a favor and look at some research on Edmunds and MSN Autos on the newer Chevy trucks. Read the consumer reviews and look at all the problems people have had with their trucks over the past 6 or 7 years. Every major mechanical system on their has had issues. No matter what manufacturer you choose you are going to find some problems and some lemons. Good luck!

 

UGGGGGG, I have a magnaflow on my 2001 Sport 5.2 and I get 12 MPG Highway if Im Lucky.. WTF! Im Jealous now []

 

well guys dont feel bad my 5.9 ram gets about 6-7 around town

 

Wow, you guys must drive with a lead foot! That or you have an intake or exhaust problem.

Go to the dealership and have them test your cats. If they're clogged they're fix it under the new extended warrenty.
