Replying to: 98ddgram1500 (Feb 21, 2008 3:22 am) I got told that there was no chip for the 2004 1500 Hemi. What do you know about this??

#243 of 284 13-14 MPG City by 98ddgram1500 Jul 16, 2008 (7:25 am)
98 dodge ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab 265/75/16 5.9L. I was getting 10.5 before all the work listed below. New Catalytic Converter New O2 Sensors (both).   Also, had done, but not really attributing to any change in MPG was... transmission rebuild, new front bearings and new u-joints.   This truck is the biggest POS I have ever owned, no, wait, the DODGE RAMPAGE I used to own is tied for the worst.   This truck breaks constantly. I only commute 25miles round trip daily and I don't tow or go off road, and I never beat on it. Granted all things break over a period of time, but its all at once. 2nd Gen RAMS are horrible if they have over 80K on them, then you have to go through and do all the work to keep them going.   I have put $6000 in less than 1 yr of repairs in to it.   but I get about the same MPG now as a Hemi would.

#244 of 284 Mileage comparison by xscout Sep 10, 2008 (11:55 am)
After looking at the EPA mileage estimates, it looks like a Ram 1500 3.7 with manual gets about the same mileage as a Chevy 1500 4.3 manual, Dakota 3.7 manual, and Ford Ranger 3.0 and 4.0 manual. Is this really accurate considering the size and weight differences between these trucks?
#245 of 284 Fuel Mileage in 2003 Dodge 1500 Laramie w/5.7L Hemi by jollypopper Sep 11, 2008 (4:17 pm)
We recently inherited a very nice 2003 Dodge 1500 Laramie with a 5.7L Hemi. The vehicle has just under 50,000 miles and runs beautifully, but the fuel mileage seems atrocious. What kind of mileage can we realistically expect from this vehicle? Replies to this message: xscout (Sep 24, 2008 12:25 pm) stanoski (Sep 24, 2008 12:40 pm) dustyk (Sep 28, 2008 10:20 am)

Replying to: jollypopper (Sep 11, 2008 4:17 pm) Doesn't seem to be much activity on this forum considering the topic! I'm not sure what mileage you should expect on your Dodge but remember a 5.7 liter is about equivalent to a 350 cubic inch V8, not a small engine! I do remember seeing window stickers on a new Dakota quad cab V6 auto and a new Ram 1500 quad cab 5.7 V8 auto and there was only a one mpg difference between them.

Replying to: jollypopper (Sep 11, 2008 4:17 pm) The 2003 HEMI does not have the MDS so you can probably expect 10 to 15 MPG on average. Newer HEMI's with the MDS about 13 to 18. >> Dodge says you can get 19 highway but I doubt anyone ever has. Replies to this message: dustyk (Sep 28, 2008 10:20 am)

Replying to: stanoski (Sep 24, 2008 12:40 pm) My son has a 2003 RAM with the 5.7 Hemi (no MDS) and averages around 15.5 town. It can do better on the highway with me driving it, but I drive much more sedately. I had a 5.7 RAM for more than a week in 2006 and I averaged 17.6, with 19.3 on a 120 mile trip (empty).   Be aware that new Mopar V8s with very tight bearing clearances and 20 lb. piston ring tension take exceptionally longer to break-in than most competitive engines. (The GM engines are 2.0 lbs!) But you'll be less likely to be burning oil at 200,000 miles, also.   Regards, Dusty
