Those Diesel Pickups

Just my humble opinion..but MAYBE the fossil-fuels we have left to us MIGHT last a little longer, if only the human race just learned to SLOW DOWN a little, and quit rushing around like chickens with thier heads cut off.

Why does it have to be a 'Human RACE' ? ? ? ? ? ?

got a 2002 duramax, just put new injectors in it at 200,000 miles, We have gotten up to 25 mpg, but most long road trips it more like 22-23mpg. with a trailor it drops to 17 and loaded 15-14 mpg. You can see why we fixed it up this fall, don't think we could get one to match that.

I've got an 02 also, I don't get that good of mileage, but on cruise at 75 or so, I'll get 18-19....the best I've ever gotten was 20.5. Injectors went out with 2 months left on that 7 year warranty. Have just under 200K miles. I'm keeping it for another 100K.

HA...I do get that a bit. Nothing against Dodge at all....I like that motor. When I bought my 02 DMax, Dodge didn't have a crew cab, otherwise I would have considered it.

wouldn't it be fun to mix-match a few of these brands. i wish a person could get the cummins under the hood of a ford body with the chevy interior.

That would work for me. The first criteria for me is whether the seat and steering wheel are comfortable. That is why I own a Chev. Second if function. That is why I own a Dodge. Third is sound body (form). That is why I own a Ford. With your plan I could be down to one truck. :wink:
