I feel your pain. I LOVE my truck but gas is killer. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram V8magnum, I get around 300 miles to a full tank, which costs me close to $80. I also have slightly oversized mud tires. I was told it had a chip in it when I bought it, but I have no idea. I have an aftermarket air filter in it, just had it tuned up recently as well. >sigh< lol
In should of known better...I bought it from some insurance salesman...he said it got 21 mpg...heck my f-350 4x4 gets the same mpg right now...
Big Ben...I checked out all kinds of data on the net and it showed that the 6 cylinder with a standard transmission only got 1 mpg better than the v-8 with automatic.....well now that you brought up the crapomatic I am now thinking it might of been cheaper to have bought a toyota tundra...in the 2005 year model...the transmission fluid does not look burned but I will go ahead and change the fluid and tranny filter...I do know lucas tranny conditioner/additive works so I will add one bottle of that...I am starting to remember about 30 something years ago when I said I would never buy another dodge...
well...never say never....might as well buy me a couple of heeler cow dogs to match my ride... ;DJK
I do remember a 1966 plymouth with a 318 v-8 that I did my best to blow that engine up as a teenager... and the only thing that busted was a motor mount...
I was looking at a chevy colorado 4x4 with the 5 cylinder and that sucker was getting some very good gpm...my nephew said he loved his as long as he wasn't pulling a load...I probably should of bought it and just increased some horsepower on it...anyone out there have a colorado 4x4 and likes it???
another thing I said I would never do is buy a 4x4 truck...well...this is #4...
