I miss my Expedition and will have another one in my future. Suburbans, Escalades, etc. always felt like driving a big long skinny tube with crappy turn radius and visibility compared to my Expedition.

As our 3 are getting bigger, having them ride side-by-side is becoming more difficult on the 2hr ride to the lake. It sometimes becomes the "he/she is on my side" battle that we don't endure when in hte SUV.
The debate my wife & I are having is about what we would have instead as we use the truck all the time for runs to Lowe's for lumber/plants/dirt, carrying gas to the lake, etc. I know you can rent one when needed, but that seems like it would grow old, real quick.

Absolutely no regrets with the Yukon wolfeman131! Pulls great, seats 7, and gets better gas mileage than the Trailblazer SS she used to have pulling a smaller boat!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/05/tu3a4aje.jpg

I need to get some wheels and tires but since I got the boat I've been dumping all of my extra fun money into it. If I get my ballast project done this winter maybe I'll finally get some.. 33x12.5x20 Nitto Terra Graps on some Chrome Gear Recoils, Black or Chrome XD Cranks, Black or Chrome XD Hoss, or something. Not real sure, there are a lot of choices out there but I want to avoid the "He has those too" wheels. But they will be either +18 or +20 Offset.

2000 ford f150 towing the old boat. no pics yet of the new combo. sunday.
truck has 150k on it and still runs great. hoping for 5 more years and then I'll retire her.
I have a '98 ranger 2wd for the daily driver in the winter. don't think I put 5k on the white truck this year. i'm on somewhere around my 6th or 7th tank of gas for the year..

Deff better milage then most gas trucks, deff higher maintenance then gas trucks.
The pay off is the power you have pulling, the extra room you get in a 3/4 and 1 ton truck vs a 1/2 ton.

09-13-2012, 01:17 AM
I bit the bullet and changed my tow rig. Every decade or more I change vehicles as I put less than 4500 miles a year on them. My 2002 Blazer needed so much work so I went shopping and got this 2004 with 70K miles. I got it for $10K minus $3500 for the Blazer so I got it out the door for $7200. BTW, the camera didn't do it justice as it is a dark yellow all the way around but I use it only for the boat and dirt bikes and I was looking for functionality. Easy to find in the parking lot.
So the hard part is figuring out what I will be doing the next 10 years and being 55 years old now tells me things will be a changing. I hope not, but I'm prepared to pull a fishing boat around.

I did a little experiment tonight to see the relationship between speed and fuel mileage on my way to work. During my drive I encounter speed limits ranging from 55-75 mph so I would reset the fuel mileage calculator on my truck each change to get an average economy for each speed. Truck is a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 2WD Hemi
55 mph - 22.8 mpg
60 mph - 21.7 mpg
65 mph - 20.3 mpg
70 mph - 19.6 mpg
75 mph - 17.3 mpg
Clear drop off as speed increases, especially from 70 to 75

Yes sir, mainly due to wind resistence on the truck. Also most vechicles are tunes to recieve there best milage at 55mph. Once you cross over that and engine RPM increases you start losing milage because now the engine is working past its prime tuned RPM vs trans gear = speed. The very same is true in your boat and any other vechicle you drive.
Now if only your truck got that good of milage all the time LOL.

Not sure i understand what your asking here.
The actual average MPG difference from 55 - 75 is only going to be 2-3mpg difference. Daves is so much harger because hes doing a small distance, at each speed. Many factors can change this including small uphill that you might not even notice but yet the truck notices it.
The only true way to get an average MPG is go several hundred miles at each speed over the same length of road in the same conditions. This is one of the reasons manufactures will say a vechicle gets X city and X highway and even those numbers are pretty conservative.
In my truck when it does the average MPG its over the last 500 miles since you reset the MPG.
I can be going down I5 towards Woodburn at 65 and average 19 MPG and then turn around and drive the exact same stretch and get 23MPG because even though it looks level to your eye you are actually going up hill to Woodburn.
You also have to factor in Wind. If you have a headwind the truck might be going 70 but a 10mph headwind makes the truck feel as though its going 80 and vis versus if you have a tail wind.
If we were all worried about fuel mileage we wouldn't even have boats!!!! And we would all have to go camping like this......

I've been working on my truck a lot lately, this is what I do. I get caught up in phases of "the next new thing to do" and I usually go a little crazy with it and them it dies down.
Mods completed in the past couple weeks include:
BHLM (black headlight mod)
Debadged-I had all the badges/emblems plastipped but think debadging looks much cleaner
Oracle halos on hi/low
Plast-dipped my front/rear chrome bumpers and also front grille and chrome grille surround.
I put Bilstein 5100's on all four sides to level it.
Just received my Volant CAI yesterday and started putting together. Wanted to get it installed tonight after work but it's rainy today, we'll see if it clears up. Tomorrow I am receiving my Aries bull guard so I'll install that tomorrow night.
Next mods:
4.5" rough country lift (next spring)
New tires (Keeping the stock steelies for now and will upgrade next year.)-going with Goodyear Duratracs, size TBD.

Those are the same tires I'm looking to get when these wear down (6 months). trying to decide whether I should go with 20's or stay with 18's. Will be getting new rims regardless anyway...
What kind and what offset are those wheels?

So I just found out that the Dodge Hemi trucks have copper spark plugs with a service interval of 30,000 miles. So I am only 61,600 miles past due on my spark plug change. I was planning on waiting until I hit 100,000 miles and since I am at 91,600 I probably still will. Will be interesting to see what the old ones look like when I get them out.

Kinda weird to not have to do any tuneup stuff for so long isn't it. I just rolled over 100k not too long ago and figure I 'm due for a tune as well. Haven't done anything at all besides oil, filter, antifreeze, etc since I bought it 55k miles ago, figure it's time. Maybe I can squeeze a little better power and mpg back out of it again.
Debating on a tranny flush. Not sure if that would extend the life for a few more summers of boat pulling or just be flushing $ down the dipstick.

I typically follow this schedule.
Oil and filter and tire rotation every 5,000 miles
Air filter every 15,000 miles
Tranny fluid every 25-30,000 miles
Rear diff, spark plugs, decarb, brake flush, power steering flush, coolant flush every 100,000 miles
I put 20-25,000 a year on my vehicles so I get up to 100k fairly quick

Here's the two trucks the 21v spends most of it's time behind. The dodge is mine, it's an 03 cummins 6 speed with nearly 200k on it now. It's 100% stock besides a 4" turbo back straight pipe. Gets about 20-21mpg unloaded and 14-16 pulling, not too bad. The chevy is my brothers, it is a 2009 duramax. It sits on a 6" lift with 22x14 inch rims wrapped in 37" tires.

At stock height I didn't like the nFabs on his truck cause the steps seemed in a weird spot but now that it's lifted they are perfect.

1. optimized stock +10
2. tow +40-50
3. mileage +70
4. street +90
5. race +120
5" exhaust from turbo back, pcv re routed, egr blocked, resonator blocked.
I absolutely love the thing. Washed her today.
