Such a beautiful truck. I like sleepers now more than I do trucks that scream look at me. I learned this through fault of my own! lol

 

Thanks man, I have always liked vehicles that were basically stock, with mild mods that almost make you wonder if they are factory or not unless you know better. Your truck looks SICK! I actually did my wifes truck up like yours with all body colored bumpers, grille, mirror inserts etc

 

Damn wish i lived closer, I would roll with ya in my 8.3 L 1500

 

I'm sure a lot of gas stations would love that too, we could create a mini shortage in a good weekend of goofin off lol We'll have to see who gets their tune figgered out first, my moneys on you though with the GM.

 

What do you think that you are getting MPG wise?

 

9-10 mpg or so, but tune is very rich at idle and it has a constant every 5 seconds or so 100 rpm surge at constant crusie speeds. It only tach's 1900 rpm at 65 mph so I know the motor ain't even workin hard at all. Hell the 3/4 ton donor truck with 4.10's got around 13 mpg around town, so I know this 1/2 ton should get at least 15mpg on the hwy and personally I think it should get closer to 18-20 mpg driven easy. Thats the challenge and reward with a late model Dodge if it's been engine modified at all, great once you get the tune right but can be a MFr to get right IMO. I have faith in the guy doin the tunin, just short on time to play with the truck and money to put a few more mods on it to make tunin easier (wide band 02's and a couple other things).

 

Hows the truck doing?

 

Just found this.. Pretty cool truck, I would totally stick the V6 badges on there and rock it out..

Funny to see the ricers faces.. lol

 

He couldn't get it tuned and lives on a dirt road, so he traded it off for something he can use. The guy who ended up with it dyno tuned it and ended up with 350ish hp and well over 400lb/ft at the rear wheels. I think the truck ended up being a good bit lighter than he thought too.
