One Year Old and running strong.....

[JR2]

Well my truck was one year old on May 2nd. I thought I would share my experinences and information for one year of service.

Total Miles 11,099
Total fuel 777. 6
Average MPG 14. 27
Fuel Cost $1253

In that year the truck has been to the dealer once for a computer relflash. It has had no other problems. I have installed all the items in my signature and they all work good. I have changed the oil 3 times. The last time I had an analysis done and everything looked good.
I must say I am happy with my truck. I wish the mileage was better, but using winter fuel for 9 months a year will hold your mileage down. I also tow (snowmachies and ATVs) all the time and that will hurt the average too.

I love this truck.

FWIW My 2001 ETH was "1" on April 1. It now has 46,220 trouble free miles on it. Has not been back to dealer for anything. Steering is tight, brakes are typical. No unusual squeaks or rattles. No 6 spd. problems. Mileage empty is around 18. 5, towing 10k avg. 12 to 14. OEM Michelins are wearing marvelously. Should have another 10 to 15 k on them. This is my 5th Cummins and the best of the bunch.
