So, i got the green light on buyign a dually today officially (and finally!!) so im gonna buy one and drive it two or three days a week.....until i get school paid off..then its going under the plasma cutter and welder starting hopefully janurary. So my question is, what is the year of your QUAD CAB dually...and what motor and mpg do you get? I have looked at 350...454's and diesel 6 speeds...give me some numbers!
now that Ive got all the bugs worked out on my new engine I'm going to put some miles on it and see if I can get 14-15 mpg out of it. with the old engine it got 10 in town, freeway, towing ,empty or just setting still it was all the same
I have a 96 454 I get about 11-14 all the time with or without a 32' box trailer loaded with my busa in the bed for a second I thought something was wrong with my truck (guess it does pretty good) but a buddy of mine has a 97 with the 6.5 and he gets 22mpg in town and about 24 highway (MT)=empty and no less than 19 loaded I wish I had the new duramax diesel in my dually a few guys say they get put to 28 mpg.
btw I have a few bolt-ons not so sure if any of this crap does any good but it sure sounds kool
