3/4 ton mpg empty?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you think I'm wrong please feel free to go find the thread and tell us all how much better it is to have a tee on your air bag setup. Several other people including the engineer who recently posted in the thread will be happy to tell you if that is the correct way to install them.

So do you want to get back to the OP or are you just going to talk about me some more? Do you have a 3/4 ton pickup? What kind of mileage does it get?

Sold this one last year had a 2004 dodge 2500 series with the cummins before this one.Mileage on the ford was 15-17 mpg with the 6.2 gasser.Have a f-150 super crew with the 5.4 engine.

33 mpg at 70 going uphill with a headwind and 1000 pounds in the bed.
2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel Heads West - CleanMPG Forums

Pretty neat article- I especially liked the display showing a 43.1 mpg average and the range of 865 miles it does say that average was after running 196 miles. 1700 miles to go- and after completing the trip 41+ mpg that IS IMPRESSIVE... maybe the eco diesel will not legally tow 9000lbs. but it can hyper mile with some of the best...

Where can I find this thread on airbags? I have mine T'd together for pressure equalization and ease of adjusting overall pressure. What am I missing?

Hey guys, appreciate all the comments.

To the guy who asked why a truck given I tow only 15% of time...

That's max towing, not hauling. Need 4x4 truck to reach my ranch house and my dad's mountain cabin in NM. I haul a lot of supplies and feed so need 1k payload. Finally, just prefer a truck. Had my current one since '99 and it's kinda hard to give up an old beat up truck dents and west texas pinstriping (mesquites) and all...

But my daily job requires 62 mile commute. My wife drives a 4x4 suburban and we have a 2dr hard top convertable car that just sits in the garage and put maybe 4k miles on it a year but I just prefer driving a truck.

I know many will say why do I even worry about 5-10mpg but I'm still a cheapskate by nature.

Thanks for all the comments. Keep em coming.
