Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: hotmaps chip problems

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 with a 5.9 commings diesel. It is rated for 15,000 lbs. I didn't want one that big, but they had 35 on the lot and made me a great deal. When I'm not hauling I get 22 miles per gallon. When I'm hauling I get 16. I am going to bring my boat this week on Wednesday afternoon.

ilucas... I feel ya on that! I get about the same with my Chevy 2500. Sounds like I need to consider a diesel for my next truck. I could put up with the engine noise for the bonus mileage. LOL

I would wait on any new diesel trunks.2007 is the first year generation 1 low sulfer fuel.New low emission laws equals new ash burning filter systems.I want to see how these new systems hold up first.Thats my two cents.Polebreaker

i was hot for the 07 ford f350 6.0 diesel. (08 model has the new engine). 4 door lariet is 48-52k, mrsp. in this market you should be able to get 10-12k off sticker on a 50k truck. NOT FORD, best i could do was 37k on a 47k 2006.
i will wait.
