Hey Jason P - Just curious..what years where your other cummins and what mileage did they get..from stock to modfified, standard, or auto, did they have 4.10 gears, etc? I am curious that's all. My 02 extended cab, 4WD, all stock, 265 tires gets average 15.8 mpg - that's pretty darn good..esp for stock! I do have a gentle right foot though.

I used to get 18-19mpg on 150hp injectors and hx35, now I can't even get 14, but my current setup makes it damn hard to drive like a civilized person, and it's not exactly a mileage saavy build either :humm:
