I am in North Tampa, but work at Macdill AFB, could anyone local take a look at my truck, because I am getting only 10MPG, and no one i know seems to know what it is. The guy I bought it from told me he got 16-20mpg, but I guess he lied to me.

Hi. Just got registered today. I have an 07 Dodge 6.7L 4x4 Megacab that I'm currently fighting with our local dealer about. (recurring engine light problem). Lemon law paperwork is in the works. Real shame. I love the truck but hate taking it in every 1500 miles for the same problem. Too bad. the 5.9 was a real honey in my 03. Hope yours is serving you well. If ever this problem gets fixed, we'll talk parts!

flubyux2 · 03-16-2008, 11:42 PM

hey larry, sucks to hear youre dealing with that nonsense. which dealer did you buy your truck from?

also, i managed to find a bed for my truck. i listed a Wanted ad on craigslist and it actually worked! some people in Ft. Meyers called me and said they were parting out a 94 diesel. i snagged the bed for $400 with only 2 real dents on it and got a good bedliner and the taillights with it. i think ill paint my cab to match the bed... two-tone blue is way better than refrigerator white.

hey, that diesel shop on 60; do they do trannies for our trucks too? mines crapping out.
