Enough about the loans you guys are way off track. Have you oil evaluated, it will tell you alot. Could be an injector issue.
Crude Truckin', Opendeckin and Keepforgettingmypassword Thank this. -
What weight are you hauling, what terrain are you hauling? Are all of your fearings in tact? What is the outside temp when running. Are you balancing the load between to wheels. Even weight on both sets?
I have a 2016 DD13 and it will ocasionaly get under 5mpg. But it's usally a simple adjustment.
Cold weather and moutains and over 36k in the box. And I'm down to 55mph if I even wanna get close to 5.5.
But 65 degrees I with 44,800 in the box on the flats running 72-78 and I get 7.3 to 7.8. -
Keepforgettingmypassword, Vampire and Gridaxe5588 Thank this.

Outside of that, it would be great if FHA didn't exist. Like subsidized flood insurance, it transfers the risk from the owner on to the taxpayer that has to bail them out.Coover Thanks this. -

I think the main issue was that some shops were trying to start it without priming the fuel system and the crank would get damaged without sufficient oil flow after so much cranking.
I’m sure most shops know to prime it by now.Keepforgettingmypassword and Siinman Thank this.
