I have 2 of them on the road, and both get in the 21-23 range, and get 16-18 pulling a loaded car trailer! There is a guy on the Turbo Diesel Registry that has the 4cyl version of the Cummins in a W150, and claims 27-29 mpg in a fullsized 4x4 with a 5speed!

I just think that no more than a short wheelbase truck weighs compared to a 3/4 ton extended cab longbed, it would have to get great milage, and be able to pull a flatbed car trailer no problem. The "noisey" earlier diesels are becoming more readily available at the salvage pools and ya can pretty much find what ya want within a month or so engine-trans combo wise.

My hopes are to have a lowered, shortbed regular cab truck, and I really dont want to have to run 3/4 ton wheels. I already have a Dana 60 that is 5 on 4 1/2...I know I will have to run way heavier front springs. I am just kinda spooked about runnin half ton spindles with that much weight up front.
