Sorry to be so long, but I finally got some pics with the lift and 37's. Also had another change of plans. My wife couldn't go through with the trade of the Expy, so we still own a Ford! Anyway, here are a couple pics.

My wife did! We were planning on buying a small, fuel effecient mid-size sedan a little later on. But, my wife started missing the Expy. She told me this week she was gonna call the dealership and see if it had sold. She told me if it was, it wasn't meant for her to have if but if it was still there she was gonna buy it back! And she did!
The funny thing is, my wife comes from a car family. She's always made fun of here dad and brother for being car guys. Now I think she finially "get's it".

Not really. Completely stock, the dash was averaging around 16 mpg with the 31's. Now with 37's it is averaging around 12 mpg. But, as you know the speedo and odometer are way off (about 10mph) so I'm guessing it's really around 14 mpg. Everyone says that after they deleted the emissions on the Cummins, they pick up 3 to 5 mpg. So I'm hoping I can get back up to about 16, which would be awesome! What amazes me is that the truck really seems to drive the same with the 37's. The torque of this Cummins is unbelievable!!

I've driven a few Dodge/Ram truck's with the Cummins engine and they are impressive. I don't see where 16 to 18mpg would not be achievable after a few tweak's! Anyway, you've got a great looking truck
