'05 3500 duelly 4x4 manual w/4.10 gears if I drive like all the old farts here in FL I might get 20mpg but I gotta be careful how fast I drive. Normally I get 16-17 mpg with out paying attention to speed too much.

Parent - - By pypLynr (***) Date 07-22-2008 04:23
Your right... when I get my stuff rigged we will be the same. -- "Money  makin' fools" . I was just funnin' ya buddy. I bet your rig will move. And it looks good doin' it! Your a lucky dawg if your co. pays your fuel. Do they need another who*e?    -I'm your huckleberry !!
