i'm really pleased with my 5500, (except for the ride), but for 4. 88 axle i don't have any complaints with the mileage.

I picked up the truck Friday night



Had a nice drive home today. This truck is FKN Awesome

I got 11 MPG driving home at 75MPH

well that's about as fast as you can go! your mileage will get better with some miles on it.



yup they are awesome.

Yup, that was about 2,500RPM. That's enough



Most of the time this truck will be in town, fairly local to us so it won't see that often.
