    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    With that trailer, that 12.5 mpg is definitely a reasonable guess, especially with the early common rail 5.9. My '07 is an early AD (lower gear ratio) G65 manual with 3.73's. It is definitely gear limited for great MPG at highway speeds.

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    I don't know the size of your trailer, but I get a consistent 11-11.5 mpg towing my 5500 lb, nearly 12' high Jayco with my '07 with 65 mph highway speeds. I have to agree with you on the hotels. I have a short 4 night trip coming up at the end of the month that I will be at a hotel. Not...

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    Yes, the hangers appear to be stainless like the system. I've never had any issues with them rusting, only the welds breaking off from abuse on the plow truck. There have been a couple of times that we've slid it off the road and or high centered it and most likely they just broke loose...

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    You are going to love the MBRP exhaust. I have one on both my current 2007 and the 2004.5 that we have sitting in the weeds. Both were installed when the trucks were new and other than replacing a few hangers over the years, have been absolutely flawless. Absolutely no drone, even when towing.

    Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

    Shipping would be an absolute killer, but that is a $5K+ truck all day long here in Pennsylvania. Sub $3000 squares here are in various stages of disassembly or you can see directly through to the ground due to the rust issues.

    Frame rot

    The frame on my 2007 Ram Cummins was Ziebart coated when new and then every year afterword. It rotted through under the cab and I now have it plated. I would never use Ziebart again. I've started using Fluid Film the last couple of years, even on my new vehicles. I like what I see with it so...

    '93 W/T 1500 (Surprise, surprise, Bucket acquired another truck)

    I actually have 7 quarts of this MOPAR NV-3500 fluid.

    '93 W/T 1500 (Surprise, surprise, Bucket acquired another truck)

    I am pretty sure that I have a number of quarts (~4-6) of NOS MOPAR branded NV-3500 transmission fluid over at the shop on the shelf. It's been there unopened for 15 years or more. Let me double check later this evening how many I actually have. But, you are welcome to them if you could use them.

    I may have missed it in your thread, but is that an NV-3500 transmission?

    Another Motor swap...V8 or V6

    We have one of those also, 2021 Ranger crew 4x4 XLT. I wish I could tell you how it runs and drives but my daughter refuses to even let me sit in the driver's seat.....lol These modern powertrains are amazing though. When we were young, 270hp and 300+ lb/ft would not equate anywhere near 20 mpg.

    Another Motor swap...V8 or V6

    Well, you are talking with the wrong person if you are wanting someone to talk you out of it....lol My 3.5L F150 10-speed combo has just been amazing.

    Another Motor swap...V8 or V6

    There are thousands of LS swaps in just about everything from Squares to classic Camaros and everything in between. As you said, they are plentiful and cheap. That is the route to go to get your truck back on the road as quickly as possible. With that said and with the complete disclaimer...

    Wanted: 1979 Copper/Brass Radiator

    If you are willing to sell it to me, I would be very happy to cover the shipping costs if you could send it out to me. If that isn't feasible, Ayden has an alternative way to get it out to me later in the year. Just let me know what works best for you. Thanks again
