    TBH this is kind of why I like having a Cummins motor in mine, Unless its something with the truck it self the #### motor can be worked on almost anywhere. It's also amazing to me where trucks like to break down. Like the middle of BFE when you have Billy bob hick come out and hit the motor with a hammer and go "Yep, its busted"

    Well it didn't break down im just trying to get it checked before something goes terribly wrong. I averaged less than 7 mpg the past three days and i know that's all wrong so i'm gonna get her a check and up get the service bulletin handled. Then next week I have to go get my PM and quarterly done.

    Got the truck washed today atleast

    EW, have you possibly been running in the mountains with 40k + in the box? That will take you below 7 MPG for sure.

    Nope I was doing good ran 29k up to Schenectady from Carlisle and got 7.7 . Then it went down hill from there, took 4500 from Hudson Ny to TRenton and got 7 and change, then went to gordonsville with 24k and got 6.6 and from there back to Carlisle with 31k 6.4

    Usually with those loads i'd stay above 7.6 even with 43500 i'd be above 7 overall.

    sometimes the wind will really hurt you, bro.....if you had a serious head wind that will jack up your mpg quickly
