Real world diesel mpg

[wakesetter8796]

just deleted my 6.7 cummins (egr & DPF) and i was getting 21 mpg heading down i5 (pdx to corvallis) around 100 miles.

will keep you guys posted as i get more miles on her

What did you get before?

[mbianchini]

how'd it go?

Went really well. Did a fair share of cussing trying to get the EGR cooler out. took about 8 hours to do exhaust and egr delete. that inlcuded some beer & pizza breaks though. It honestly drives like a totally different truck.

Which tuner? Waiting to do the same as soon as my warranty is up.

I got a smoking deal on a smarty JR 67. I have 72k on my pickup and was going to wait untill I got a 100k to do deletes. That was untill the dealer did not want to help me on a o2 sensor wiring harness. So i figured I would get rid of them. wish I wold have done it sooner.

If I did not get the smarty JR for free I would have went with the Torque Technology. Check it out.

So i thought the JR 67 didn't do deletes, only the RaceME. Could be wrong though. Did you get the kit off eBay? I found a kit which included a 4 inch turbo back, RaceME, and EGR delete kit for $1350.

The older JR67 will do deletes. The way you can tell is by the serial number. if it has US in the serial number it wont do deletes. I got the EGR and exhaust at a local shop. I got the H&S egr Kit and flo-pro 4 in turbo back (kept the stock muffler, it is a straight through resonator) for $400.

I found the smarty on Craigslist. keep a eye out, they are out there

Just talked to my neighbor and he got a 2014 Ram 150 4wd with the Eco Diesel 6 cylinder. Full 4 door and the 5.5' bed. He's had it for 2 months. Around town and towing 23 mpg. Highway 27-28 mpg.

are you sure on the towing numbers on that Eco diesel? I have two buddies that when they hook to any Trailer, the mpg drops to 18-19, figured with pen and paper at the pump vs the what the CPU tells them. They are a little upset. They have to keep the trucks under 65 to get close to the 23-24 on the highway. They have 2015's and 4wd crewcabs

I find it hard to believe as well and I'm not giving up my 6.7 for one. I bet if you hooked a real load to one mpg would take a huge hit. Edited December 24, 2014 by Pnwrider

I'm with you on that, o drove my buddies ecodiesel and was gona buy one just to work out of but the mpg and had me concerned and the newness of the motor. I ended up buying a 2015 megacab 3500srw longhorn with the 6.7 cummins in it, and couldn't be happier. I have owned all the diesel trucks in past 20 years and dodges seem to last longer. Even though I will never talk bad about my current Duramax either. It's a work horse and a beauty.
