My current truck has all of the deletes plus a Black Maxx tuner and while the engine runs great, the 6-speed manual transmission can slip the clutch when loaded heavily and trying to accelerate fairly quickly - I need to upgrade to a high end single disk set-up.
I average about 20 mpg unloaded on the highway and about 10-12 mpg when towing depending on terrain.
For you guys/gals that have a newer 5500, what kind of mileage do you get and how is the unloaded ride?
Do you like your new truck or do you wish you didn't upgrade?
TIA,
Ken
