Wont be THAT bad, probably around 12. You want bad, try my lifted V10 ram 4x4. Most big rigs get better mileage.

Took ~5/8 of a tank to get her from Austin to Rockwall at ~75mph Haven't checked the actual mileage yet, the trip odometer hangs up on .9 miles.

thats awesome! i like those body years

Damn you...this really makes me miss my old 98 GMC Sierra Z71 4x4. Best vehicle I've ever owned.

I had a 96 1500 Ext Cab in college and loved it. Sold it in 15 to buy my current F150. I drive by the truck on the way to the lake and the new owner has neglected it.

You are supposed to use a Dr. Pepper can for sizing, not a Sprite bottle. Maybe that is why the pics are so big.

Looking for wheels for it. I've got leveling spacers on order for the front and i need to get rid of the 16x6s and 245/75/16s.

Anyone have any suggestions? Looking at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers or the BFG A/T for tires.

I can’t say enough good things about my Falken Wildpeak AT3/Ws. I always recommend those. Good in wet and all around terrain, not the best for mud. Not loud at all and wear great no cupping like the Duratracs I had before.

This truck will never see mud on purpose and I definitely don't want a noisy tire. I'll have to look into those Falkens

Shieeet. I get that in my 6.4 Hemi with 3.73's, 14 if I'm all highway.

I don't doubt that. Hemi's aren't exactly known for economy. I don't think I ever broke 16 with any of my 5.7 rams. My dad does right around 18mpg in his 19 Ram 5.7L and 8 speed.

Well, it's a 34 gallon tank and around 220 miles depending on where in Austin, so I am pretty confident you're seeing double digits. Best my poor ram has ever done was 10 on a pure highway trip to Houston. I usually get 7-8mpg.

Rough math says its ~10mpg. I'll be swapping the muffler for something a little more free flowing, along with an injector upgrade and swapping the computer for an 0411 and a little tuning.

Looking into either going to a 6spd auto, or adding a GearVendors unit to it at some point.

It's a big block and 4.10's so it isn't going to be stellar.

6.0 swap.

Holy MPG Batman!

He should convert it to electric

6.0 swap.

If/when the 454 goes it'll get a 6.2.
