CA. SO/48re mileage...

[catoiler]

Hey guys,Just wondering what kind of mileage everybody is getting with their CA. SO/48re combo. No BS Please just real mileage with or without a box. If with how much increase did you see. DRW or SRW 2wd trucks.





Thanks Mike

1400 miles and I get 14 mpg. with city driving and a fairly heavy foot - 15 mpg. driving more freeway than stop and go.

i get around 19 mpg on the freeway and no stopping. on the ranch it is pretty much around 14. i have a 4x4 2500 SO 48re w/ 3. 73 gears. i also have a toolbox and fuel tank in the back.

I have a 2 dr long bed 4x4 with 4. 10 gears and 35" tires. I normally get 12-13 around town/highway and 14-16 when mostly hwy. On the long cruises where I burn a tank on the hwy only, about 17-18. I tend to push the faster speeds though and don't baby the go pedal.



I just took a drive from Socal to Sacramento a few days ago pulling my empty car trailer. Got approx 14 mpg (calculated) doing 70-75 mph. Oh yeah, I have the Gear Venders OD too.

The return trip had my Jeep on the trailer. Got about 10 mpg coming home doing 70 on average. Hit the grapevine and maintained 55-60 up the hill. Needless to say I was working the Cummins pretty hard. Turbo boost hit over 37 and set off the check engine light too.

Kilby,was that with or without a box?Thats pretty good boost if you have no box.

 

[Kilby]

Sorry, forgot to mention that part. That's with the Power Edge EZ. Edge gives you a special fitting for the turbo too which is making the boost higher.

I used to run the Bully Dog but it was tempermental. It sure had way more power though when it worked.

I have about 6K miles on truck average about 16MPG or slightly less. My lowest was 14, highest was actually the first tank at 17. 6.

I am happy with the MPG, the MA trucks are the same as the CA. The trucks with out the CA/MA emmissions from what I have read here get much better mieage especially the HO six speed models.

Empty and completely stock.....

With 1000 miles on the truck I took it to Vegas and back from Denver averaged 75-80 mph and the computer said 18. 3. I still haven't hand calculated but I bet it's close.

If I keep it at 65 or less on the highway it gets 20-21 according to the computer. Around town I see 16 and I have a hard time keeping my foot out of it



I don't know if it makes a difference but I live at 5000+ feet elevation.

 

[catoiler]

Well I guess that the CA. trucks with all their smog garbage do get about 3-6mpg less than the real trucks! maybe Arnold will let the HO in here! Countin the years till I can call this state history!!Keep those numbers comming.

My odometer just turned 1000 miles, and I have been averaging about 15. 6 MPG. No mods, and no towing. 4wd, 4dr, LB, CA-SO, auto, 4. 11:1

Have a 4X4 with 20,000 miles, 3. 73s and consistantly get 16. 7 with 50% city driving. Most I got highway was 17. 5.



Towing 10,000 lbs I get about 10. 9



All MPG are hand calculated and are fairly close to the computer.



There is a huge difference if you go over 65, the MPG really drops.



I just put on an Edge EZ, computer says 22. 5, but I'm anxious to see what it really calculates out to.
