Probable upgrade time (Karl gots a new truck)

Congrats! You'll enjoy it. Empty, you'll get the same fuel mileage as a 6.0 does. (around here, anyway, they're comparable), but every time you look at your right foot you'll be happier than you ever could have been with the 6.0, lol. They updated the CP4, so you have less worries there... I still suggest a lift pump, if only for the extra filtration, but it's not as big of an issue for the newer ones, as far as I know.

Tuned/deleted is another story. That's like Christmas all over again, lol.


I see some people are still jealous that I actually use my truck as a truck [emoji38]

Waiting for pics of new 5th wheel toy hauler

Ha! gonna be a long wait...unlike the Dmax, I'm not even shopping 5th wheels.

Still out in Illinois, but I've been window shopping like mad while i'm out here. Can't wait to get back home and get serious.

PS. pricing on trailers is batshit crazy. Nothing like a $15-20K swing on the same trailer.

Thanks! I'll probably leave this alone until the warranty runs out as far as deleting/tuning, but I'll look into the lift pump. I'm all for filtration and reliability.

At least peek at a 5th wheel

Bolt the FASS to the exhaust cooler bracket, and it's invisible, unless you're underneath

That was kinda my thought. I'm getting 17-18mpg empty...don't know of many (any?) 6.0s getting that mileage.

Same or better... I was getting about 12 - 13 around town, stock. I thought the 6.0s were comparable, when empty. Highway was around 17 - 18.

Which is about 2 - 3 mpg less than my old truck.

Loaded, the Dirty wins hands down.

On my drive back from Illinois, I did a full tank average of 20.0mpg. never got a tank that good in the half ton!

I'm guessing that was empty / no trailer or anything?
