Dave,



Mileage seems to be pretty good. Compared to the 05 hauling 32k, I was getting approx 1. 5mpg better with my 04. 5. Empty I get approx 17. 9-18. 2 if I take it easy. If I drive like I want to, I'll see around 17. 2.

Dave,



Since the rebuild, I've been getting incredible mileage. My overhead is reading at 20. 2mpg. This is varied driving with most highway at 70+ mph.

I'm at 265miles on this tank and have used just under 1/4 tank. I really hope this keeps up!

Thay may have flashed it when it was in the shop. The transmission can't make that much diffrence.

I was current on my reflash(s)

Before I was still seeing decent, unless the transmission has been going to hell for sometime and the reflashes weren't taking full effect due to excess drag

 

[doldenburg]

keep us posted!

Dave,

I fueled up this morning - put in 33. 033 gallons and had 618. 5 miles on the tank - 18. 72 and the overhead was reading 19. 7.



I really can't complain

 

[doldenburg]

I wouldnt ether. I got 17 last time. best so far. babying it no towing. You got any doctering done on it other than exaust?

 

[TX Gooseneck]

I have the stock exhaust back on. The 5" I had was junk. It destroyed my downpipe and I was retighting the entire exhaust once a month.



I have an afe filter with box and the torque tube.
