So we went to Heber springs today for memorial day. Went to the day-use area and played in the water. Introduced Beckam to the water, and let the kids bury me in some sand. :waytogo:

Anyway, the fun part was the drive there and back!!! :peace:

It's a little over an hour drive, 55mph road, through the mountains and up into the country. Man does this truck drive like a damn race car I mean seriously, I know it's a 6,800 lb beast... but this engine and this tune, she flies like she's at the track! And that's with the 35's and the 6 inch lift!!! Sitting at around 500 HP, and 1000+ ft lb's of torque, she gets down!!!

60-80 in seconds to pass cars like they're standing still, power is always there when I need it. Plus, I averaged 19.8 MPG, and normally average 600+ per tank!!! :big_banana_Dance:

Pretty perfect memorial day if you ask me!!!

Yeah my 1500 get's 15/16 average. But it's a gasoline 5.7L.

I think it all has to do the the gobs of torque these 6.7L diesel engines put out. I can spin these 35's, something I never thought I'd see without all that much skinny pedal. That coupled with H&S tuning/emission-delete abilities, and she's a dream as far as the wallets concerned. Granted, regular maintenance on diesels is a little more spendy and in depth. But I'm a happy camper!

Wow that's incredible all around! Glad you had such a good holiday, and that gas mileage is amazing lol. I'm sitting at a painful 14.8 mpg average right now. It dropped severely from sitting in traffic for an hour after the Kenny Chesney concert over the weekend. I'm glad you love the truck so much too, congrats man!

Left my phone at the house, so the wife took all the pictures... sadly no truck pictures : (

I want to take my step bars off so bad, I think it'd look even better! But then I don't know how I'd get into my truck... :Frustrated:

When I Get My Bonus LOL, Perfect! I was just saying that last week about 35's after I took Mine off that unless you have a Diesel with Torque you are just wasting time and Money putting such a big Tire on a Gas powered Vehicle in the 400 TQ ranges. Congrats.

It's funny you should mention getting your bonus. I'm waiting for exactly that so I can get some tires/wheels. What do you do in the AF if you don't mind me asking?

Eh, sometimes it can be I guess. When it gets real busy it gets a little stressful, but it helps you think on your toes which is a good thing. Overall it's a pretty decent gig :)
