draftingmonkey, you have been added...welcome to the coolest club ever.

 

I know this does not pertain to what this thread is meant for and about but any ideas why I am getting such terrible mileage?

 

97 dodge ram 1500 5.9 dual oil coolers full tow package

 

I am getting about 9.5 around town, and thats with a easy foot... I have checked my plenum, and that seems fine. I am going to go ahead and do a full tune up: cap, rotor, plugs and wires and see if that helps. I am also using about 3/4 a quart of oil about every 1500 miles, but the trucks doesnt leak or smoke... And it runs like a champ...

 

You know what that means. You need to replace the plenum.

 

I took a look inside and it looks clean, I dont see any oil at all...

 

how much you getting, how does it drive and how many miles on your truck?

 

Head to the 2nd gen section and pm zman about his.
