    pre 07 cat
    04 cats had a hard time with mileage, but there are fix's for it

    as for mpg......are they used trucks?
    if so the ecm will get your a close answer

    if new the dealer ought to have a guesstimite for you

    otherwise figure 5.5mpg......if it gets better its a bonus.....if not figure out what you can do to improve it.....hint: pay attention to your right foot
