SEMO Trip Report

[dorkweed]

Got home from my annual snow goose hunting trip about 10:00PM last night. Hunting was "fair" at best................15 birds on Sat. and 9 on Sun.Mighty Whitey got 19.3mpg going down. Left with 130 all towing miles on the tank also. Filled up in Sikeston, MO when we got there on Fri. We went to and fro to our hunting area twice (Sat. an Sun.) and then drove home. That tank got me 19.5mpg. Hand calculated. Pretty happy with those numbers.............hard cross winds both going down and coming home. Average speed was about 68-70mph and the one way distance for the trip is about 450 miles.Just under 183,000 on Mighty Whitey now.

Im curious if youve ever owned any other generation of a cummins? If so how would you compare it to your current truck (performance, economy, reliability). I will be looking at a crew cab in the next year or so, and so far Im leaning towards the early commonrails.

Owed a "99 regular cab 4x4 5 speed that I bought brand new and put 142,000+ miles on in under 5 years!!!!! Then I bought my current truck!!! In all honesty; I truly get better mileage from my '04.5 than I did my '99!! Especially since the Edge J/A and then now with the Smarty Revo SO-6!!!
