Of course its a "rare find" they sucked so much gas, they're hard to
give away.
The diesel would be a better choice instead of that 6 mpg hog.
The diesel version of this same truck tends to cost a lot more from
what
I've seen. Also, where I live gas is currently $2.54/gallon and diesel
fuel
is $3.25, which I suspect would negate some of the difference in fuel
economy. Other than the gas suckage, were there mechanical problems
with the
V10? Anyone have direct experience? I'm looking for something
inexpensive to
tow infrequently for relatively short distances. I have my own dock
where my
boat stays most of the summer, and my truck would undoubtedly spend
most of
its life parked in my driveway. I have no doubt that the V10 would get
gas
mileage similar to my boat's, but I'm not looking for a daily driver
here.
Economics?
6'7 mpg (on a good day) with the v-10 gas, or 18-20 mpg with the
diesel.
That cummins is a fantastic engine.
many are reported with over 300,00 maintenance only miles.
Big whoop. I've got a Jeep closing in on that
Why am I not surprised?
LMAO.............kevin does tend to let slip how he really is.
