RE: 2003 Ram 1500 Quad cab mileage help
Wow...your gas mileage really is terrible. I agree with other posts too much truck and not enough power. Is it an option to trade for a Hemi truck? I have an 04 QC 4X4 with the Hemi. I get a respectable 14.5 around town and my last trip driving at 70 with cruise control (Tailgate down) I averaged 19.3. I was also amazed of getting 11.5 towing my 5,000 boat 1100 miles on vacation. My only MODS at this time...a Volant CAI. My next upgrade will be a set of JBA ceramic headers with flowmasters (single exhaust) Dual exhaust will lower your low end torque....

Drtelco,
You're getting a little less than what I am getting on my 4.7L. Don't know why the others are getting less than 14.5. The Dual out may lower torque slightly, but there are definate HP gains over 2000 rpms. Should get my torque back and then some with the CAI next week. So far my mileage in the city, after the FlowMaster 50 cat back dual, is about 15.6 according to the computer in the truck.
