    Interstate Towing Estimated MPGS 2500 6.7

    what gear ratio do you have? 10 mpg is not unreasonable. I can get 11-12 towing but my max height trailer is 9’. advice: install a larger fuel tank, or auxiliary tank. stopping for fuel every 3 hours and hoping you can find a station you can pull into gets old after a few days.

    Single cab

    I was referring to chassis cabs. 3500 and up if OP goes that route

    Single cab

    both are not, but the OP did not indicate which model they were looking for with the stated configuration.

    Looking at 3500 how important is air ride suspension?

    not a hypothetical in my case. I’m currently dealing with 2 “light up the dash” issues with power running boards and lane change assist. Both systems work properly but the Christmas tree on the dash says otherwise and I have turned off both systems for the last 2 weeks, even though they work...

    Single cab

    an option would be to buy a chassis cab and 8’ OEM bed separately. I have not priced them but I know you can get new OEM beds through a variety of suppliers.

    Looking at 3500 how important is air ride suspension?

    I would not disagree with you but for two points. Ram is sourcing that air suspension from a 3rd party OEM so the merits of the bags, compressor, etc. are up for debate. The big thing for me is that all these integrated systems rely on a lot of wiring, electrical components, and software that...

    2021 Mega Cab

    I’m not an expert but I have asked experts who service my industrial diesel engines. I plan on a break-in period of 15 hours - don’t drive it hard and don’t excessively idle - operate in the peak torque range, between 1700-1800 rpm - moderate loads at the 10 hour mark, on and off This routine...

    2020 HD 3500 Mega Cab Transfer Tank

    do both. I already have the Titan, it’s a solid upgrade. I’m looking at a few 60 gallon vertical transfer tanks that are under 14” in depth, which should work up against my Demco slider. All that fuel will affect your payload capacity.

    2500 Cummins, good for towing or not?

    running empty that trailer will come in around 3,800 lbs. I never calculated the tongue weight on my 28’ car hauler but now I am curious. A lot of that trailer is in front of the axles but physics works in a lot of ways. Loaded it would change with every different vehicle. Either way, a 2500...

    how is fuel tank level calculated?

    installed a Titan tank with a Fleece lift pump. First refuel yesterday, with the low fuel light on and 31 miles of range remaining, the tank took 42 gallons. 8 gallons were in it with 31 miles of range. I drove 550 miles before refueling. The math says that I’d get 660 miles on a tank of fuel...
