Its only a 19ft Travel Trailer....

Its funny actually... the MegaCab is 20ft... my truck is longer than my trailer.

Is that sad?

So, I picked up the truck today...

Other than a few minor items (let's face it, its used), it's such a sweet truck... I gotta get a pic of both my red rams online.

Alright.. back from my first trip with the truck...

Fuel mileage was a big letdown... Computer said 10.9mpg (US), hand calculated was 11.2mpg. The truck has a K&N CAI, other than that, no modifications...

Advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of power.. especially climbing hills...

There's a strange pulsing 'caviation' noise at 118-120kmph, which increases in intensity when the truck's front end is moving up and down over bumps... it goes away after 120kmph. It only happens while under load/accellerating past the 118 to 120kmph range. Sounds like its coming from the turbo/CAI side.

Advise on this would also be appreciated.
