Nice looking truck, Great color
You will love the 6.7 over the Hemi. I loved my hemi but hated towing with it.
8mpg was not cutting it. Wait until you hand calculate your fuel economy, it's still going to be decent, but not as high as the overhead. I'm deleted, tuned and drive with a light foot on my road trips and the best ive seen is mid 17's. My overhead reads 20-22mpg when I'm actually getting mid 14's.
What are your plans for it?
As of right now the only plans I have for it is: Tow mirrors, CAI, delete the muffler, and switch the tires from the other truck to the new one. I wish the rims would fit but its all good I will get another set down the road.. Thats about it, I am gonna try to keep it pretty much stock unless something forces me to delete other things and I have the funds for it.
Nice Mega!!
I wanted one of them myself but decided against it after cleaning out my old 2nd Gen when I sold it.I didn't want all the added room to pile things up inside,LOL.
IMO I wouldn't straight pipe the truck if your going to tow,you will hate yourself for doing that.Save the time and your cash and just buy an exhaust that suits your needs later as the drone of a straight piped CR towing will drive you bonkers.
Also,make sure the load range on the tires on your old truck are at least a D as many 1/2 tons put C rated or lower on them.You want to make sure you have at least enough capacity to be able to tow with and even a D Rated tire will give you some side sway due to only being 8 ply.
