wheel swap ?

From : ron

Q: i met a guy who recently had his fuel injectors replaced on his 2001 dodge ram 2500 diesel cummins 5.9l. he tells me he gets 25 mpg with these new robert bosch rv fuel injectors. before he got only 19mpg +/-. he showed me his overhead display for that tank as proof of his claim. has anyone else seen this type of gain with these tim dont trust the overhead computer readout. mine is 1.5 miles per gallon off. the real test is the old fashion way of using your brain and calculating the mileage. .

. chris how ya liking the liberty give me some info please. seems im going to be making a few trips a year to fl. my 05 4x4 cummins is nice but im getting about 14.5 mt at the speed of traffic. sure i can slow it down to 60 but ya stand a good chance of somebody driving over you. kinda playing with the idea of a change but am not sure that the getting is worth the going. if it is only 3mpg than of course it is not. like i said it is just a idea although probably not a good one. then again maybe the liberty might be just the thing for a run around truck for fl or perhaps for the wife up here. roy we love the liberty tara sees 23/24 mpg on her daily driving she drives a lot of highway as her work is in drybranch ga witch is about 30 min away by interstate. she runs it hard too i bet if i drove it and kept it closer to 70 on the interstate you could see closer to the epas claim of 30 highway. it handles pulling the boat fairly nicely for a small truck and have used to to move the tractor when i hurt my left leg and was uncomfortable driving the stick for a few days. so far the only things weve had to do to is 1 fuse cell phone charger shorted and the #3 glow plug shorted and turned the check engine light on. the ride is surprisingly smooth for such a small vehicle. the clack at highway is a touch louder than in the cummins but the turbo wistle is much more subdued so i guess you trade one noise for another. but niether truck is anymore obnoxios than the other at interstate speeds. i still havent had a good oportunity to put the liberty on a trip hoping sometime around the 1st of the year we can go and see the inlaws in ky and put the liberty through the paces. -- oh yea by the way something i should warn you about. the steering ratio is much quicker than the ram. what would be a small correction in the ram is a pritty quick move in the liberty. no big deal just takes some getting used to everytime i get in the liberty. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. .
