And part of it probably is becuase of putting bigger tires on it and that cant keep my foot out of it. The best money I ever spent was on the new exhaust and air intake, sure makes it sound like a big rig running down the road. There isnt anything better than a loud cummins and a smoking one at that. Just the kid in me, maybe someday I will go up....nah. And like some ones said about TDR it is the best site next to this one on the web.
Ted, I got to wondering is your `03 a six speed or automatic? Mine is the six speed and I usually don’t have a heavy foot. Also when I say that I average 20 to 21 mpg that was driving back and forth to work, highway, empty, running about 60 to 65 mph. My boat doesn’t change the mileage much, but when hauling hay (a very heavy trailer and 13 big round bales) it will drop down to around 16 to18 mpg.
