Dodge Ram 2500 QC SB SRW 4x4
5.9L Cummins w/3.73 (stock) gears
121,000 miles (as of Oct 2011)
No EPA ratings for MPG on my truck, none at Edmunds or Intellichoice either. Best I could find is a road test at consumerguideauto.com that rated a 4WD, Manaul Trans Dodge 2500 w/Cummins at 15.3 (combined).
