Made the 600 mile club with 627 miles, got 18.27 mpg, found a station heading home that had fuel for $3.39/gallon (everyone else is $3.49 & up), got paid from a real estate loan, got my tonneau cover back (looks like new)and got paid from the new job (contractor)... SWEET! so what am I going to do? tonight is hockey night in Stockton! KerstenP & his family are going to join us for the game! should be fun.

 

Congrats. sounds like things are going well.

 

could be better if the cost of diesel wasnt so high... but I'm not complaining... or am I lol, hell IDK at this point.

 

I am hoping that the cost of diesel reflects the price of diesel trucks. ****ing cummins. Can't find a decent one for a fairly good price. I was able to find multiple last year for about $4000, cant find one decent under $6k anywhere, unless it is 2wd, with 4376790436768 miles

 

It's an investment that pays big dividends

 

congrats steve I just recently hit around 530 with 18K miles on the truck. But I think if I slowed down to around 65 or so I could get there. I cruise around 80 it seems like.

 

you should easily be able to get it... stock tires would help out alot. I'm real curious to find out my mileage with stock tires on it. I have a friend who has a set, if I do go for it I'll ask to borrow them for 1 tank of fuel...then i'd only need to reprogram the speedo. I have another friend who may be able to help out on that.

 

Steve, what all have you done to your truck and what year is it? I have an 03' that looks a lot like yours. I have a leveling kit with 17" wheels and 33's. Just wondering what I could do to boost my mileage. Thanks. Sweet looking truck.

 

thanks!
