state troopers are now pulling diesel trucks over for excessive noise. there looking for factory mufflers and resinators. cost me a big fine if i put a state sticker on, so now we have to reject state inspections for missing exhaust componets. this is texas state law.. since when?

I wish I could post a pick on here from my cell phone. I took a picture of a cummins dually pulling a freightliner with a huge sleeper on a trailer... I am not a dodge man, but I was impressed

i pulled my boat to ceder creek yesterday and was running 75-80 all the way there and still get 16.9 miles a gallon. I dunno, I met a guy a week ago who has a new cummins and said if the dealer has to take his truck back one more time, it's going back under the lemon law. Something about not running right on the new low sulphur fuel????

Something about not running right on the new low sulphur fuel???? how new is new? The 2007.5's and up were designed to run on ULSD (15ppm). I bet he is having problems with the DPF clogging up and the truck not re-genning. Does he run it hard and leave the exahust brake on at all times (givin its a 6.7l), or does he baby it around and let the truck idle all day?

stock '05 Cummins not sure which one(5.9 I think) but i drove from Garland to South Padre on one tank of fuel and still had some left. Thought that was pretty good. I believe it was around 670-680 miles outta one fill-up. Granted that was at the time diesel was around 4 bucks.

I towed my 20' bass boat from Tyler to Shreveport at 90-95mph most of the way (still had pedal left) and got 11-12 mpg on that tank. The truck was stock.
Now I think about how dumb that was since it was only a single axle trailer.

Have a 5.9 six speed, with the bully dog programmer I get between 19-22 on the highway. Plus I took it to the drag strip and ran a 14.60 at 100mph, and that is leaving in 3rd gear!
Pulls my race car and boat like nothing I have ever owned before.
