no matter how i drive the milage keeps going down in the last week the average has gone from 10.2 to 10.0 so i think it maybe time to go the dealer and talk to them about reseting the computer, this happened to my old mans 06 cummins and it seemed to fix it, does anyone have thoughs on that

so a 1500 cant weigh 6k?
i went to get some stone yesterday and weighed in at 6140 lb empty with 1/4 tank of gas.
as for mileage, in the north mileage goes the crap because of the anti-freeze crap. when i first bought my truck in June i got 23 on the highway. then the level and Toyo's took the highway down to 18.... right now because of winter gas im at 15-16. and im not even gonna say what city is. but mine will pick back up when it gets warmer and the gas gets better.
oh, my speedo is still set for stock tires too so my mileage is a tid bit higher than that too.
gotta love MDS!
our car gets 43 mpg on the interstate and its getting 32 right now so it really is the winter fuel causing MPG havoc.

The scale you used might be reading a bit high. a transfer case and front differential can't weigh 900lbs!!
