Wrong type of truck my FRiend. Class 8 trucks are Kenworths and Peterbuilts. The new engine regs for consumer vehicles didn’t play into this.

Thank you for the tutorial. We were off in the weeds again.

This is a larger picture here than a size contest of our neighbors “dually” in the drive way.

unless things have changed you will find a class 7 (straight trucks/rv’s/buses) engine in that dodge.

When dodge first started using the 5.9 diesel the truck could get mid to upper 20’s to the gallon.

Now, all smoged up I hear it’s in the teens.
