Mpg?

i will be running stock tires and rims. i'm not into the fancy stuff. i'm too old for that now.
i might consider an aftermarket exhaust if it will improve mileage but only for that reason.

another question. will the 2500 fit into a 7' garage door?
my 1500 fits with about 8" to spare.
my door is 83" counting the weatherstrip.

I don't know, I'm in the same delema as you. My 1500 just barely fits into my garage as it is, and the 2500 seem to sit a little higher so I'm not sure if it will make it or not?

maybe i'll drop by the dealer tomorrow and measure theirs. if it don't fit then that will help narrow my choices.

Hey guys, my neighbors got an '06 Dmax K2500HD and pullin a 20000 lb trailer he's gettin about 8-10 mpg. This seems kinda low. Hes also had a lot of trouble with injectors too. Three sets in 50000 miles, all under warranty. Hes really starting to hate this truck. I wanted to know if installing bigger exhaust and a different intake would help his mileage? If so how much? and what is causing his injectors to go bad?

20,000 lbs??? I think 8-10 would be awesome pulling that weight....

If you mean 2000 then thats different.....

The injectors must be a fluke cause the 01-03 had the injector problems....id say he should be able to get a new truck after 3 sets.....has to be the engine....

Is he running any programmers....that may cause the injector problems....

the truck is currently stock, I thought about putting bigger exhaust on it and an aftermarket intake setup. that should help his mileage i would think. I thought maybe too much backpressure would screw up his injectors, just a thought.
