RE: Miles per gallon- What are you getting?
WhenI bought my truck it had single ehaust, A few months later I had duals put on .After reading this forum some time back it said to removed the CTM ,fuse hook up the driver's seat belt ,put the key into the ignition, and turn it to on. Do not start the truck. Listen for the peep sound onee then twice. shut off the key and put the CTM fuse back in the fuse box. I did all that and my mileage went up two miles per gallon. it resets the computer some how. On my truck the fuse is number 23 it's located in the big black box under the hood on the driver's side next to the engine. When you open the box it will tell you which fuse is the CTM fuse. My truck is an 04 Hemi.

When you buy a truck get a diesel. Once you do you will never go back to a gasser 
I average 19.5 just normal driving back and forth to work never over 55mph. If I get to gunning it and racing around on the interstate 85 and 90 mph it'll suck it down really fast to about 17.5 but I can set the cruise on 75mpg and get 18. I have a hard time believing some of these 18-20 mpg claims from Hemis. The 14 to 16 sounds more like it. And the fellow diesel driver with 4:10 gears averaging above 20mpg? Ha! Not gonna happen[sm=forgetit.gif]

yes... horrible mileage. i should got the hemi too. when you buy a trucc, get the v8, no matter what truck it is, v6's are too weak for such a body. take it from me. lol. dang, should got the hemi.

Not gonna happen[sm=forgetit.gif]I have a small video on my cell phone showing me at 70mph then moving it to my display showing 20.x mpg. I will try to get it posted so it can be seen. I had filled up that morning and reset my trip and mpg before I left the gas station. I was in the middle of a 150 mile trip and checked and was suprised to see so I took a video of it. I had to drive 5 miles from the gas station to get to the highway so I had a little city but not enough to hurt the reading.
