03 DRW Crew 4x4 6 Speed 29MPG!!! - Page 5

Yeah, if you drive 55-60 it is much easier to get high mileage. But realistically, most people drive faster than that. I tried to get high mileage in my '07 and the highest I could get was 18.5 at 62 mph. That was being EXTREMELY easy on the go pedal. The G56 is just geared so low that I was still at high RPM's. It's not that I drive it hard, I used to make 20 consistently with my '99. It's just that the newer engines just don't make that mileage like the old ones did.

BTW I average 55-60MPH with the tach less than 1500RPM with an auto and 3.73 Gears.

and yes the 305 does get better mileage

2004 Dodge Ram 2500 - Cummins Diesel Engine - Diesel Power Magazine

The 03-04 are the best motors you can get in the CR series, although stock for stock if you put the same tuner to each the 325 will smoke it, mild mods out of the two, the 325 will always win

but not when you get into the higher #s its all downhill from there for the 325

BUMP

little late

Good luck with the sale

Well the truck is what we want. If we could sell the Chevy for $6k and scrape together the rest of your desired price...it'd be about 4 months from now. I wonder Allen do you have that kind of wait time on the other side (your buying that other Ford truck) of the deal?
