I am thinking about buying a new truck, and I really like the new harley davidson model. What is everyone finding with their 6.4? You like them, hate them,, issues? mileage? etc

Thanks

Kevin
 
I have a few customers that have them...mileage SUCKS. Heard anything from 7-10mpg from 3 or 4 different trucks.

As bad as the mileage is on the 6.7L and LMM Duramax, I've not heard anything under 11-12mpg.

hmm, that mileage sucks pretty bad for sure,,, wonder if they get helped with a tuner and such?
 
My thoughts are they suck, but they are really good at burning up # 2 and 8 cyl's.


If your stuck on getting a HD find a older model with a 7.3
 
my mileage aint bad, 13 in town, about 17 to 18 going 70 for a while and on flat land, im about to do the spartan tuner, some people are seeing up to 25 or so mpgs, but i love my truck, recommend it to anybody
 
I agee with Forrest, they just look wierd on those headlights, I like the front end otherwise.
 
I wonder whos gonna be the first to make a headlight for those trucks that is flipped. Someone photochoped it on one of these boards and it was a HUGE improvement! They are growing on me how they are though.
 
Actually on my 2nd 08 F250 since dropping GM and have never looked back. Was getting about 14 in town and 18 on the highway in the first one and getting 15-16 in town now and 20 on the highway with no mods. Just wanted a new one and no, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the first one.. Happy to finally have a truck I can depend on...
 
I love mine...have owned many trucks and this 08.....well since the DPF delete, is the best truck I have ever owned...inside, out, and engine.

do you happen to have that pic? I always wondered what these trucks could look like with the headlights moved around... I too had to get used to how they looked. I like 'em now

EDIT: gotta love google. Did you mean this picture?

You mean comparison? Maybe the truck itself is better, but how about better mileage, a single, normal-looking tailpipe on the Dodge, and an engine that can do the same thing with 2-less cylinders and 1-less turbo, truck weighs around 1000 pounds less, has a built-in exhaust brake and manual thumb-shift?? The 6.7 Cummins, NO comparison :poke:

The OP is driving a Dodge, or at least his avatar is of one. Did you look at the Dodges?

Hi Forrest!

So what kind of tuners and delete systems should a guy look at, I have a bud at work that is trying to get more than his 11-12 MPG running empty. He told me just this morning that someone (I don't remember the company) in Georgia sold a setup with a tuner and delete system for 2K and claiming a mileage increase up to 20 mpg, of course I know nothing about this, any info would be appreciated.

tell him to go with spartan, i got the whole setup from them with 250hp tune and i love it, great power and better mileage, ive never looked back
