Really? Your saying that a V8 hemi will get better mileage than a V6 diesel? By the way diesel has more btu's than gas hence more power. You have a ford Eco boost right?

My company truck is a laramie 1500 4x4, and wasn't a fan of dodge at all. Still not sure, but I am impressed with the truck. Definitely impressed with the mileage and how it toes my boat compared to Eco boosts

Negative. That will be down the road as these trans are weak. Any other mods would require a beefed up tranny
