UPDATE: I had this thing until about the middle of May and then i turned it in for a 4 door wrangler rubicon. But I really missed my truck and just ordered pretty much the same thing as the truck I had before except a year newer so it will have the new air suspension, interior, and the whole 9 yards..

So excited for it to get here

I am looking into buying a f250 or 350 but the 6.0's are sketchy if not done right. especially the early ones. Was looking at a 03 f350, 40 inch tires, lift kit, all good until he said he has done nothing to the engine, a stock 6.0 and it was starting to give him troubles. i then left, looking into a 7.3, crew cab.

Yeah, but I can option it out completely for next to nothing so why wouldn't i get the Larmie Longhorn? I am excited to see the new updates for this year that I did not have before like the air suspension and a nob shifter.

in your first post you said it rode super smooth because it was a laramie longhorn.


I feel sorry for your truck, it will never get the work it deserves.

Oh sorry, forgot about that post it was a while ago. I think I was referencing the lushness of the interior and how comfortable the seats were.

And no, my truck will barely get any work at all.. I just have one because I can

Do you also feel bad for every sports car that doesn't see the track? Every muscle car that doesn't see the strip? Every SUV that isn't used to haul gear and multiple people? Every sedan that isn't used to carpool? Are there any cars you don't feel bad for?

if its gonna be primarily a street jeep then yeah dont waste the $ on long arms just get some drop brackets and call it a day. does it have the 4.0? auto? maybe consider doing some gearing if your going 33-35 because its gonna be a slug with stock 3.55s. right now im running 4.88's on 33in MTR kevlars. i fucking LOVE deep gears, my mpg has increased significantly from the 7mpg avg i used to get, i can haul ass 0-50, and crawls much better.

5 speed. Gonna prob just keep the adjustable short arms that are on it now or maybe some kind of mid arm set up. Next purchase might be frame stiffeners. Had it in the woods last night and i dont like how loose it seems to feel. After that ill probably end up with an 8.8 and gear accordingly. i liked my 8.8 i had in my yj a few rigs ago. Really the plan w this one is dd and mild stuff.

where did you find this? it's kind of hard to believe.

but you also have to balance out MPG gains with paying for diesel fuel.

I dont believe it at all. Jumpin on the "my cumminGs gets 125 mpg pull a 30k trailer w square wheels up a hill blowing smoke and hooking chains to big rigs" band wagon. 20mpg if you drive it right....its a heavy ass truck and a bricks in aerodynamic

True. Do cummins come in pickups or just chassis cabs?

But either way 20 MPG is still a lot for a truck. But if you're only getting 20mpg and paying for diesel you might as well get 16 and pay for 87.

my calculator.

thats assuming you do all highway driving. if I drive city, which I have been a lot recently and with winter fuel right now im seeing 12. but in the summer when I put some miles on i can get as far up to 27 if the conditions are right. all hand calculated.

Cummins come in all kinds of vehicles the 5.9 and 6.7 were in the dodge trucks both c&c and the regular bed pickup. Cummins also builds tractor trailer motors, generators, engines that power factory equipment and smaller box trucks.

I dont believe the 27mpg at all. No offense but i just dont think an 8k pound truck will do that... winter blend will send that all to shit too

A teacher at my school drives a truck that's biodiesel and he gets 25 or so MPG I think. I may talk to him about it. Since the '13 Cummins, maybe earlier models as well, can run on biodiesel according to their site

Ill have to take some pictures this summer. Im talking driving through the flats of kansas and oklahoma, its not that unheard of. I'll average closer to 25 for the whole trip. but on a highway run I can see 27 out of a tank.

but I did add 35's this winter so I will have to put the 235/60/17's back on. small tires definitely help

and yeah fuck winter fuel. fuck winter in general. more idle time to warm up, more idle time to let the EGT's go down. more fuel right out the shitter. also doesnt help that diesel is up to 3.99 in some parts of the state.


and I only run shell diesel, i have found the best MPG's out of it. whatever you do dont run valero, that shit will fuck your injectors up.
