I am envious of those FE numbers DD.

I'll blatantly thread-jack by asking which year of the 2500 has the best potential for good FE? I was thinking 2003-2004.5 since these years went common rail but was pre-cat.

I have a '98.5 4x4 that gets terrible mileage due to a used up tranny. It used to get about 20mpg. Impossible to tell what I'm getting now with larger diameter tires and a broken speedo/odo. Perhaps 14mpg, which I cringe at the thought of.
