I got my worst ever this tank. 14.76. But, I had about 175 miles in 4wd going back and forth to work, 4 dump trailer loads of firewood hauled, and a whole bunch of idleing time. I'm still pretty happy.

If it runs out- whatever you do, don't let it suck air for too long!!! You may have to bleed it at the injectors if it won't start. Good luck!

no need to bleed the injectors on these 3rd gens. the system is self purging from lift pump to injector tip.


the reson behind this is due to the injectors fireing electricaly and not by fuel pressure as previous generations.

good job steve. . .I wosh I could do that. . .I think I would cap out at a bit over 625miles on a tank.

Drew, you should do the vent mod I did... cost under $20 bux and works great. funny thing though.. I used to go about 400~450 miles before filling up, I dont quite understand how an extra 3~4 gallons gets me into the 600's...

yeah Dodge this the wallet did hurt... but it hurts anyways since I do 3400 miles /month...
