GeoBoy,
Your mileage figures are quite impressive. How did you calculate them, by hand or by using the trucks on-board computer?
I currently carry my 811 on a Chevy 2500 HD with the Duramax and although my mileage figures are 2-3 mpg better, I'm considering going to a new 3500HD 6.0 gasser.
What axle ratio do you have? Inquiring minds have a need to know......
I checked your profile and see that that you have 4:10 gearing.
Thanks,
TG
Ray, my mileage is hand calculated, I use mid-grade gasoline and I keep my speed under 65 mph. Did you buy your AF from Niemeyer's?
GB,
Thanks for the reply. Hand calculated....that's the honest and accurate method of checking fuel mileage. I commend that. No I bought my 811 new from a dealer here in Michigan, who shall remain unnamed as it tends to offend the owners of this forum when you don't have positive things to say about them.
My 811 has been virtually trouble free since I've owned it but I have new truck fever and will buy a GM product and it will be a 3500HD.
Dually, I hope. It will give you options on what you can carry.
