New 4.5

[RGarza]

O. K, got off of work today and had an appointment with the truck salesman. was supposed to be getting a molten red 4x4 4 door 2500. Got to the dealership and found another one in black with dark gray interior, fell in love. Talked to the man for a few minutes and ended up trading in my 03 for the 4. 5. Drove it home and I love it. Seems to ride a little smooter than my 3500, not so jumpy. Has good pickup and is really quiet. The overhead said 9. 5 when I got in at the dealership and has picked up to 12 on the 90 mile ride home. Thats right, 90 miles to find a good dealership that will work with you. Anyways, I hope the milege comes up some, at least to about 15 average. Will be happy with a little less, love the truck. Hope everyone out there has the same experience with theirs, RG.

What kind of mpg's was your 03 gettng?

It will go up don't trust that thing, I hand calculate mine and it averages 16. 5 in mixed driving. The overhead will say around 14. 9

when I fill up The last tank I got 17 mpg and have 9500 on the truck in only 4 months of ownership.

I would be suprised if you did not come up to very close to where you were before. My 04. 5 has been getting better with every tank. I am doing a few mods to help it along, air flow stuff. I will see how much diffrence that makes.
