see my other serious reply to your first post. about your 25mpg loaded and now getting 6 mpg with the same trailer i would put a locking gas cap on it to stop your neighbors from messing with you by secretly adding fuel last month and now removing fuel this month. diesel owners are fun guys. i could have you up to 40mpg in no time p.s. i get 16-18mpg unloaded and 14mpg towing a 8000 lbs gooseneck horse trailer at 75mph with my 2005 3/4 ton ctd. what kind of reply is this when i log on to get input from you guys i give you all the info i have and the mpg before i broke down is right on the money.. i know i pay the fuel bill.. please i need some more help.... on the trouble that this engine is giving me ... thank you for your time peter .

friend im sorry to say it but you are screwed. no cummins gets that crappy of fuel economy unless something is wrong. id sale it and buy an older 12v model. none of the gd electronics. if god wanted electronics on a diesel hed have built one himself. point that no one can argue with... **the gravity like reliability of diesels has always come from their simple ignition and mechanical fuel delivery** adding electronics only throws in a couple of weak links that will bite you in the a$$ when you least need it. ive a 1998 12v that humms like a mother. it only needs oil coolant and fuel and never misses a beat. it also gets the same if not better im convinced fuel mileage. i get 23mpg/55mph and 22mpg/62mph. durajokes and powerjerks can have their crappy electronics and multivalves. ill stick with ole faithful! randolf .
