Ah. Von Dutch style.... (think the movie 'Cars'.)

Any bets this guy owns a Harley?
I like that it's parked in a handicap slot, he probably pulled something climbing in and out. Also, since it's in a handicap slot, I'm going to guess a goldwing.

I have a 2001 Ram Sport with 120K on it. 12mpg. :boo:


That would be perfect. Is it 4 door & 4x4? Does it have Navigation? Where did you get it?

Change to synthetic and get a little over 14 MPG. Oh and keep your foot out of her. If I had not done this I would be right there with you!

It is a 2 WD, 4 door no navigation, towing package, off road package, 18" wheels. The 2WD adds towing capacity...limited slip differential makes it difficult to get stuck. I bought it at SOMD toyota.

My son just bought from Bayside Toyota and was treated much better than I was by the local dealer.

You might just call either dealer and let them know what you are looking for.

mom always dreaded my dad having a week day off, he would trade in current used care for something different ........

WTF DOES ANYONE NEED WITH A 70K TRUCK?
I mean what did people drag stuff around with before 70k trucks?
You could buy 3.5 20k trucks and they all would pull or haul the same stuff. Just beef up the tranny.

I know mine ain't worth a crap. Chevy used to be better on that one. Limited slip meant almost no slip. They called it something else though. Positraction?

limited slip and positrac both leave you stranded, its supposed to transfer the power to the wheel with the most traction, but it never worked that way.

Chevy and GMC have been using the Eaton G-80 in the trucks for the last ten years, If one side starts to spin, as in 100 rpm over the other side, the rear automatically locks and both wheels have full power through what becomes a straight axle.

I'm thinking my 70 Blazer with positrac and 4x4. Hardly ever needed the 4x4. Wish I had that sucker back.

Positive traction VS the Eaton G-80
Had no clue I had it in my truck till I got on ice once and it kicked in.
Cant ever go back to anything less.

20% grade G80 - YouTube!

scroll to the 28 second mark to actually see them testing the trucks.

you can also watch some other G-80 videos and watch the thing work.

I've always used syn. And I don't have a heavy foot for that very reason. :faint:

What fluid did you change over? I am not asking brand, which fluid exactly? I changed everything over - engine oil, transmission fluid, differential oil, transfer case fluid, brake fluid, and even synthetic grease (where I can add it or service it). I rotate the tires every third oil change, I add B12 to the tank at every oil change, and check tire pressures every 1-2 weeks (more often if I am hauling a trailer). These are the only ways that I have managed to get better mileage.

I like the Rotella T. 15/40
Empty on the highway I can get up to 24mpg highway if I drive like I have sense.

Just the engine oil. I don't drive the truck enough to really worry about it.

The new truck will be my primary vehicle.
