07 6.7's are notorious for that. The 08's don't seem to have the same issues.

Brandon,
At steady highway speed, the digital read out was at 18.9 and climbing by the time I got off the highway. This was a pretty short distance too.
Douche bags that run down the highway at 90mph get 13-14mpg. LOL

Randy,
I sold the 06 a little over a week ago.

 

I got a buddy who has one....megacab on some 35s and he sees 15ish in mixed driving....I feel your pain tho....it is a nice looking truck tho. Hell my TBSS gets 12ish city and maybe 16-17 on the highway so I have no room to talk!

 

Looks awesome, you end up getting that motor home?

 

nice truck I love the mega cabs specialy the mega cab dually's!

 

Yea he got that. It is very nice.

 

Sweet!

 

Damn nice truck Ross. Would love to have one for the horse trailer myself.

 

My condolences to your gas bill. Be glad you don't have to drive much, lol.

 

How's that dually on gas?

 

I should have got a Corolla. I'm really regretting this now.

I definitely shouldn't have taken into consideration:
Personal Preference
The current market
A good deal
Resale Value
Comfort
Styling
Room
Ability to tow anything
Ability to transport large items
Personal need for a truck in the family
Extended bumper to bumper warranty to 100k miles
$3k worth of other add-ons I probably wouldn't have ponied up for if I had bought a bone-stock truck.

 

I was wise enough to buy a 5.9L. Learned my gas-guzzling lesson with the '08 Duramax. That one got 14.8 mpg average. LAME.

The '06 5.9L Dodge dually gets 22 mpg hwy, average of 19.8 mpg. That is with cruising speeds of 75-80 mph. Tuner, catback, intake on it. I raced a brand new BMW 335i twin-turbo last week three times, humbled him. Those are 13.9-14.1 cars

 

yah who thinks about that crap

 

"You might be a Redneck if ... "

Congratulations ... enjoy it.

 

I assume you're talking about the 5.9l Cummins, and not the gas 5.9...?

 

Dodge hasn't used the 5.9 magnum since '02 or '03, I forget which. It was replaced with the 5.7 "Hemi"

 

Says the man driving an HD2500 and living in what used to be a cow pasture.

Saw the truck earlier, very nice truck. Makes me want to mod my daily driver even more.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... those 5.9 Magnums were dogs, even in the Dakota

 

They weren't fast by any means but my old 1500 Ram had plenty of torque and would tow whatever you threw at it.

 

Corrected

 

Very nice truck ross. i wish i would have bought a diesel instead of gas. congrats on the purchase.
