may consider a trade , obviously Mopar only, prefer a 68 cuda notchback or vert, any engine as long as its a running driving car
 
Nice truck and good price...but are you really getting 16 MPG average??

Mine is 14.2 with a light foot and that's the best I've ever seen or heard about.

What's the secret?
 
Got a power programer in our's/ I can get 17-18 if I keep it at 55mph.
Drops off after that. Must of the time is 16 at 65mph.
I've been trying to sell this one for a year. No luck.

no programmer, but if i drive it easily at 55-60 hwy and around town, no rabbit starts and such thats what its pulling down:prayer:
 
So that's 16 highway MPG, not average.

Mine can get 23 at 50MPH and 16-17 at 65, falls off pretty fast higher than that.

The EVIC does a real good job calculating the average.

I did manual calculations for almost six months of driving to check it, and it was within .5 MPG per tank (277 miles), and actually showed a worse average than my calculations, so the truck was actually getting .5 MPG better than what the EVIC was reporting per tank.

I just scored a super pursuit hood of CL last month (it's ram air capable).
It's time for a repaint (clear coat burt off), and I always told my self when it was time for it, I'd do a hood and put on old school R/T badges. Also scored a second set of R/T wheels with good Hankook 101W's.
I think I'm gonna paint them body color.

...more on the EVIC- be carefull not to skew it...my brother does this all the time...he resets it almost every time he gets out on the highway, and then likes to claim his veihicles get MUCH better mileage...but he's falsely stacking the readings with disproportionate highway miles!

I leave mine run for the entire interval between oil changes. Helps as a change reminder and gives a very accurate mid term MPG picture.
 
mine is combined hwy at 55-60 and whatever around town driving i do, say around 150-200 miles a week in town
 
These are very nice comfortable & fast trucks but miles per gallon is not their forte. Loved the 98 I sold couple of years ago .Averaged about 17 hwy & 14 city in the 4 yrs I owned her but this was with a diablo programmer & tonneau cover which really helps with wind resistance, Nice truck & GLWS.

Oldschoolcuda
 
So the secret is...not going over 60? :)

I LOVE mine, and it runs as good at 135,000 as it did at 31,000 when I got it.
It's nice balance of "old school" tech that you can still work on, and more modern high durability stuff. Mine is so easy/trouble free, I got one for my mom!
Actually it's an 03, quad cab 3.9, but it's been super dependable as well.

yep 65 or so and it starts to lose mpg, 3.92 gears do that, if it had 3.5s it would be better up to about 70:violent1:
 
Nice, I had a 2000 RC in solar yellow, supposedly only 5 made that way in 2000. Sold it with 17,000 miles on it in 2003 when I bought a new Hemi Ram. Never was that impressed with the Ram in comparison to the R/T. I even autocrossed once with the R/T and bested some Mustangs and even an older 911 but you never know about those drivers.
Good luck, besides the Viper this was the best thing Dodge had going in 2000.

Hey, if I didn't say it- good luck with sale.

These are GREAT trucks.

I would not be scared of a 150,000+ either.

As stated previously, mine runs just as good and is just as powerful at 130,000 as it was at 30,000.

..and parts are kinda easy to find in u-pulls right now as well.
Lots of 5.9 Rams and Vans out there...and lots of 97-03 Daks.

Someone will be getting a good deal on a nice truck!

...and I even thought about putting a 3.55 rear in mine. Bought one and everyting, although I couldn't find an SG one, and that's where I stopped. I really like my SG, and haven't had the motivation to tear the 3.55 axle apart and buy/install an SG unit.
 
How about a 2003 red cavalier stick loaded that gets 40mpg runs 16.5 qtr mile.
