Good Morning James

 

Morning and welcome home.

 

Morning James

 

Looking like that good mpg's is just a pipe dream. 1 hour of 70-75 mph driving on the interstate has netted a resounding 16.3 mpg.

Better than before the re-gear but not what I had expected. Looks like 55 mph is the mpg sweet spot.

 

Morning sir.

 

Sounds like the trucks doing good, that’s pretty decent milage considering what all you have done.

 

Been reading a lot about all the gear changes. Kinda all over the place. Not sure what I want to do. Common sense tells me to buy a truck that is made for pulling Harvey loads. My 2007 dodge gets 19 loaded heavy.

 

Agreed. I have to remember I went up in tire, lower in gears and added 200 lbs to the nose.

 

No question if you're pulling a lot you should use a different truck. Taco will do it but not quickly and not efficiently.

 

Mornin' James

 

Morning Eddie. How goes it?

 

Week from today I May Be able to try to start walkin'. Sooooo Stoked.

 

Awesome. Hope you can. Keep my for you.

 

James forgot to ask but the rear diff slack that’s known with the 3rd gen. Did the new gear change make that go away?

 

wasn't aware of any with the stock gears and don't notice any with the new ones either. No bump when going from rolling to throttle.

 

10-4

 

you get a look at those tires since you've been back?
