Q: 2001 2wd club cab 5.2l 3.55 auto short bed i had the average up to 17.4 for a while doing a lot of highway driving. thats having never reset the mileage meter. more typical was 15.9 with 46k on it. ill never know if it could have went higher. the last i heard it was in a scrap yard in upper ny state. i got rear ended by a 18 wheeler on 401 in canada. some stupid cu&t thought it was a good place to make a u turn. 2003 2wd quad cab 5.7l 3.90 auto long bed the average is up to 14.9 without resetting the mileage meter. whats great is it went up .2 last weekend on a 800 mile trip doing 70-80 all the way including 3hrs idling in traffic & road construction. its got 9k on it and i added a fold-a-cover last weekend after the road trip. im heading out on a 600 mile trip tomorrow. well see if it goes up some more. to ice the cake the 5.2l needed 92 octane to run without pinging. im putting 87 in the 5.7l and its running great. on tue 15 jul 2003 215410 -0400 jonathan kaplan insure10nospam@nospamyahoo.com wrote today i did it! 18.85 mpg. ram 1500 2wd with 4.7l 5 speed auto. 65 mph avg and tonneau cover. it almost made the epa rating of 19. the truck is a 2003 with 4700 miles. whats everyones record its a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. -- andrew jackson .

do you know the model year industrial engines usually had some odd modifications which varied from year to year. my suggestion is to sell it to someone needing a 413 for a restoration and get a 440 from the junk yard. right off the bat you gain 27 cubic inches and more speed equipment is available for it. budd lew daniels wrote greetings---i have chrysler 413 ci engine that i pulled from a mini bus.the engine was operating when it crashed i have been told that this is a special and very heavy duty engine. can anyone tell me what makes this engine special and---does anyone have any idea as to the value the value thanks lew .

good grief!!!! yes it was wrong. duh!! thats why i said the beach boys gave in to the gm crowd. the only way the f.i. 327 even as good as it was could beat the sonoramic crossram the short rat roaster ram wasnt in use in 1962 413 was in a song. why do you think the words get kinda blurred so everyone can come to their own conclusions but the lyrics do say the vette won. we need to remember only one of the beach boys ever surfed and i dont think any of them did any drag racing...they just sang about both. the pedals to the floor hear those dual quads great!! n now the 13s startin to skate. *he* throttles ram induction but its understood i gotta fuel injected engine sittin under my hood. the implied win by the singer who was driving the vette chorus shut it off! shut it off! buddy gonna shut you down! the crowd telling him its all over maybe repeated to end of song. note the vettes burning out its clutch common with factory diaphragm units of the era 1962 even on the dual disc clutches and having traction problems i.r.s. with skinny slicks and not the best weight transfer while the 413 with super stock springs was hooking up and a hauling. what i found odd was the boys say they were evenly matched equal numbers and an even race. i dont remember them racing in the same classes back then. budd tbone wrote its just a song. . . and an incorrect one. someone from mopar magazine put up a challenge for a restored stingray to go up against his factory origional super stock dodge. someone took him up and they ran 3 races and the ss dodge creamed it every time. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving budd worker wrote yes but for how long to get the traction im ridin the clutch the pressure plate is burnin and it shakes too much .
