Default Re: The Offical B.S Thread!!!!

Just test drove a 2500 6.4 4x4 and I'm impressed. It was an Crew Cab SLT model and was averaging 15.5 mpg with some aggressive driving. I don't see why it wouldn't get 16-17 mpg highway in stock form, if not better. This one did have the 18's with a 275/70/18 tire (33.2"). It definitely had more power than the 5.7. I think I've talked myself into a Mega Cab 6.4L. If it can do 15-17 mpg highway, that's a hell of a lot better than 10-11...

I liked the 6.4L. It was a beast. I tried the Laramie package Mega and was sold on it.... But I wasn't going to spend the money for one, and I didn't want a 2500 after pondering for awhile.

Now that the motor is getting broken in, This weekend I took a 6 hour trip to Ohio to see the rents and pulled roughly 20mpg.

They are awesome trucks Morgan I say go for it!

I really wish I knew what kind of gas mileage to expect with a Mega Cab 6.4L with 4.10s. I see a lot of reports on RF saying 15-18 but that's almost too good to believe. I'd be happy with a consistent 16 mpg...

I think loosing your ass on the $$ side of things........would take a while to recoup from the MPG difference.

Keep what ya got, its bitchin man.

I've been seeing some posts about the mpg's with the 6.4.... I agree with you. You're talking numbers that the 1500's are pulling? idk though. I know the 6.4L have the MDS so maybe the numbers might work out to that.

I don't regret going back to a 1500 but would have loved a mega cab.. just didn't need one.

6 months down.

90 pounds down.

BOOM!

Went for a walk last night with the family. We have a great place here to do that now, its about 1/2 mile walk to the little lake in the middle of the subdivision, so we went down there to feed the ducks and geese. Almost back to the house, there is a trail that goes through the woods - so we went down that too. Its about 1/2 mile as well through it, and only one way back......LOL - right through the same path.

All in all, got almost 2 miles in last night. Lots of hills - it was great. Even raced my kid from the bottom of a hill to the top (to a stop sign). He's 9, runs all the time..........and he only beat me by about 3 feet. He was huffin' and puffin' more than me at the top! But....hey, 6 months ago, I wouldn't have been able to do it!

Then.......hopped on FB last night and found some old pics of me. EEK!

So..........this was last July. Shitty pic......but hey, it shows the awesome figure I was rockin' out....at 305 pounds.



Here I am at 215, enjoying life!







Feelin' spiffy......and thinking when I get to 200 I'll call it, and stick there.
