bingo!!! we have a winner!!! vbg if the trailer is really tall you might consider making a v shaped false front on it to reduce the drag or if needed you can add some storage in the fairing. it wont give you the same mileage as not towing but it can significantly help. budd yah... odds are its the trailer.... i took the truck on a 60 mile drive and it got around 15 mpg.... i was doing speed limit + 5 so 70 to 75 mph the whole time. i think thats pretty good. carl i think you just found your answer... a tall and/or wide trailer will always cause a bigger drop in mileage than a compact trailer. another factor speed . . the faster you try to drag it along the more drag it going to have. keep your speed reasonable say 55-60 and while it may take you a little longer you can save in fuel costs. budd our trailer is only around 2500 lbs fully loaded but it is pretty tall. i think the height is making the trailer cause more drag than it should especially when i have nothing in the bed of the truck. im going to take the truck for a 60 mile ride this weekend and ill see what the gas mileage is on it... tia. on thu 18 nov 2004 135230 -0600 carl chipman cchipman@nomadics.com wrote hey guys used to hang out on this forum right when i bought my truck five years or so ago but have dropped off till recently...however my 1999 dodge ram qc long bed is getting old and has 135000 miles on it in ive got the 5.9l v8 and gas mileage is pretty bad in the 12-13 on the highway and 10-12 around town... if im pulling something its falling down to 9 mpg. in short it sucks... does anyone have any advice.. ive just recently replaced the distributor cap well actually my mechanic did and weve run fuel injector cleaner...spark plugs and wires are only 20k miles old...air filter was replaced recently. im lost... what can i do to get the mileage and power back up also its got other small problems... in the top console one of the push button lights has gone out and i cant figure how to get the console off to replace the bulb... the electronic door lock on the passenger side door is also no longer working and when you attempt to lock it it makes a whirring noise and tries to lock but usually doesnt. finally the seal on the back window is leaking and i cant figure out how to just order a new seal. the dodge dealership says i have to order a whole new back window assembly for around $400... yikes!! help! does anyone have a good book to recommend tia carl chipman we have the same truck in a short bed... 360/auto/2wd/355 when we tow the trailer about 5500 - 6000# we average 8mpg... a tuneup and going to synthetic in everything possible got us about 1/2 mpg better so i guess thats as good as it gets.. 15 mpg on trips if were constant... 65 and 80 seem to be about the same on a trip but bouncing around between speeds drops it a lot.. in town were lucky to get 10 or 11 mpg...its a lot of truck to get moving in stop & go traffic.. .

yah... odds are its the trailer.... i took the truck on a 60 mile drive and it got around 15 mpg.... i was doing speed limit + 5 so 70 to 75 mph the whole time. i think thats pretty good. carl i think you just found your answer... a tall and/or wide trailer will always cause a bigger drop in mileage than a compact trailer. another factor speed . . the faster you try to drag it along the more drag it going to have. keep your speed reasonable say 55-60 and while it may take you a little longer you can save in fuel costs. budd our trailer is only around 2500 lbs fully loaded but it is pretty tall. i think the height is making the trailer cause more drag than it should especially when i have nothing in the bed of the truck. im going to take the truck for a 60 mile ride this weekend and ill see what the gas mileage is on it... tia. on thu 18 nov 2004 135230 -0600 carl chipman cchipman@nomadics.com wrote hey guys used to hang out on this forum right when i bought my truck five years or so ago but have dropped off till recently...however my 1999 dodge ram qc long bed is getting old and has 135000 miles on it in ive got the 5.9l v8 and gas mileage is pretty bad in the 12-13 on the highway and 10-12 around town... if im pulling something its falling down to 9 mpg. in short it sucks... does anyone have any advice.. ive just recently replaced the distributor cap well actually my mechanic did and weve run fuel injector cleaner...spark plugs and wires are only 20k miles old...air filter was replaced recently. im lost... what can i do to get the mileage and power back up also its got other small problems... in the top console one of the push button lights has gone out and i cant figure how to get the console off to replace the bulb... the electronic door lock on the passenger side door is also no longer working and when you attempt to lock it it makes a whirring noise and tries to lock but usually doesnt. finally the seal on the back window is leaking and i cant figure out how to just order a new seal. the dodge dealership says i have to order a whole new back window assembly for around $400... yikes!! help! does anyone have a good book to recommend tia carl chipman we have the same truck in a short bed... 360/auto/2wd/355 when we tow the trailer about 5500 - 6000# we average 8mpg... a tuneup and going to synthetic in everything possible got us about 1/2 mpg better so i guess thats as good as it gets.. 15 mpg on trips if were constant... 65 and 80 seem to be about the same on a trip but bouncing around between speeds drops it a lot.. in town were lucky to get 10 or 11 mpg...its a lot of truck to get moving in stop & go traffic.. .

should have mentioned this sooner but . . . just before last my trip to phoenix i was checking engine fluids and found a little vacuum line to the egr transducer bad 3.0l engine 95 lebaron and with no ready oem replacement used a 2 length of clear fuel line from my old cushman and a single small hose clamp. the surging is gone starts better i got the same fuel economy going down to phoenix with an empty 4x8 trailer as i had without it before and the engine is smoother. im going to see if i can get a new line from a local auto parts store later today. thanks for all the help guys. budd .

just dont hang it out too long to have a piss when its 30 below with 30 mph winds or you have to get someone to rub it to get the feeling back dale simmons mikesim@fidnet.com wrote wind chill pertains to anything exposed to the elements since steal cast iron and most any other metal you care to mention will conduct cold just as well as heat. technically wind chill applies only to human flesh. it is the perceived temperature that your skin feels when exposed to a given temperature at a given wind velocity. for example these numbers may not be right they are for discussion only! at 20 degrees f with a wind velocity of 20 mph it feels like zero degrees f to exposed flesh. wind chill does not apply to non-human objects such as vehicles howeever wind can play a role on how fast a vehicle cools down heat extraction when exposed. for example and again these are numbers ive pulled out of the air at 20 degrees ambient a 300 degree f engine will take 6 hours to reach equillibrium with the ambient temperature. with exposure to a wind velocity of 20 mph it will only take 4 hours to reach equillibrium with ambient. regardless of the wind velocity however the engine will never be chilled below ambient unlike the perceived temperature of skin. finally cold is not conducted heat is. heat transfer is a one-way street. by definition cold is the absence of heat not vice-versa. mike c1e32590.0411201257.352d6646@posting.google.com montanajeeper montanajeeper@aol.com wrote im wondering at what temperature do you diesel owners typically start plugging your cummins in. having woken up to a few inches of snow this morning winter in montana is upon us. thanks nathan i suppose the truck is sitting outside over night not in the garage. i would plug it in over night when the temp starts going down to 15-20 f. remember also about wind chill if its sitting out in the open. it may be a certain temp outside but with a strong wind temp could be a lot colder. i believe wind chill pertains to exposed flesh. roy .
