fuel mileage sucks
kinda wierd that everybodys getting better mileage than me, whats wrong? 14.5 on the highway maybe a little off from larger tires? but i thought that would help on the highway. i used to get aroung 18 but seems mileage keeps going downhill. i drive 70 to 75mph.

Did you get your speedo recalibrated for the tires? If not, your mileage will appear to have gone down. I bet your tranny issues would also play a role in bad mileage.

A smarty I think can do it, your juice might be able someone else might know with that. You can also go to your local dodge dealer and they can do it. Transmission might have something to do with it, but larger tires are hard to turn.

Mines dropping too. Taking it in tomorrow to pull codes and check out my tranny. It could be your auto going out or an injection pump. Hopefully it isn't one of those components, but it seems like the weak link on these trucks.
