    Great for off road and pulling hills. Not so great for flat out hammer down fuel mileage.

    Hey guys, thank you for the replies! Ima definitely have 24.5s and I pull logs. So ima be weighing around 80-85k every load. Sometimes less than 80. Im not a hammer down type of driver. I’m slow and steady cause mama said it’s better late than never. I don’t floor my truck at all. But I would like some power you know. Lol

    Used to drive one set up 13 spd c15 3.90s with 11r 22s, drank fuel over 65.

    Brother has that truck now, has a super 10 and 11r 24.5s, thats better for his mileage than the 11r22s were but 65 is still more or less the max, gonna have to put a 13 back in to get him up to 68/70 comfortably
