Need the MPG

[zbrown]

If you want a full size pickup you can really that you could do anything with and still get great milage then you want a dodge cummins.

Youll get the best milage with the older 12 valve engine (94-98.5) though the 24 valve (98.5-02) and common rail (03-pres.)get damn good milage with a programer, and they will last forever. the 12 valve is absolutely indestructable though.

I have a large fuel plate and full length 5" exhaust (350hp 700ftlbs wheel) and i get 21mpg and 17 towing 75 mph on interstate. A 2wd version can get upwards of 25mpg

a 5spd ranger gets 24mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. The 2.3 is a reliable motor.
Shit that is funny..... i owned a mint 97 2wd 5speed ranger with the 2.3L before i traded for the cummins.

And this is no lie.... sure you can get 25-28 mpg traveling at 50mph and I did... but on the interstate it was a joke.... that thing was labored to death trying to keep 75 on flat ground even with a little headwind, and on the west side of bismarck when you start getting hills.... fuck it was all over, i kinda felt bad for the engine.

I never got better than 17mpg on all the trips i made from Wahp to home 350miles, All interstate, and this pickup was perfect running condition
Reliable...very

I already posted what I get, but here it is again. I have a 4x4, etc. It gets 18-21 mpg on the interstate...going 80 mph, depends on the winds.

thats what i dont want lol.

and yea, im highly looking into s10s.

about once a month ill be going up to winipeg, and i'd like to get decent milage. (my trip is paid for anyway... but still.)

91nbtsi - lol i didn't go back and check. mah bad. thanks tho. I would just go 2wd. I don't care much for 4x4 beings i can either take my parents truck or their suburban. Both of which are 4x4 so.. 2wd get me around 23 im guessing?

So you could with a vortech 4.3. lol While it might be possible you'd never want to find out what would break if you did.
