[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 885761, member: 10832"] I have an 05 3/4 ton 6.0 liter with 4:10 gears. It pulls pretty well but the mileage isn't great. I get 11-12 empty around town. At 50 MPH i can get close to 15 mph, 60 MPH is about 13-14 MPG. At 75 I am back to 11-12. Pulling, it varies, up hill is awful maybe 6-7 MPG, down hill is about 9 MPG. It has been a really good truck as far as how it has held up. I think you are on the right track regarding the diesels. There are only a handful of engines that have a good track record and the year matters as well. Considering the additional expenses involved in every aspect of a diesel, a guy better be pulling most of the time to make it worth it. I think the 1/2 ton models and some of the 2/4 tons have the higher gears in the tranny and a guy may get close to the numbers you are stating. Pulling power is drastically changed though at least when you are pulling heavy loads up hills. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
