Just seems like a colossal waste to me. To each their own.I can't speak for the owner of this truck but my daily driver is a 2008 3500 cummins 6spd manual 4door long bed 4x4 drw. I drive it cause I can and like have a big truck to drive I get 16 to 20 mpg depending on how I drive it
This has been bugging me cause I really didn't think dodge ever made a single rear wheel 3500 in a 2nd gen body style. So I have been looking and I haven't found anything and I asked on a couple dodge forums and they are all saying its just rebadged and that there were no true 3500 single rear in a 2nd gen. This doesn't mean they are rite of courseSure did. The only thing Dodge didn't do in a 3500 was an extended cab short bed.
How is it a waste I pull a trailer once a week atleast I bought the truck because I love the way duallies look and I love being able to pull almost anything I wantJust seems like a colossal waste to me. To each their own.
whats the title say? what kind of economy does it get unladen?This has been bugging me cause I really didn't think dodge ever made a single rear wheel 3500 in a 2nd gen body style.

The truck is a true 3500 (1 ton). This particular truck wasn't a single rear tire truck factory. It had the bed swapped before I bought it. It was a dually and does have the dually spacers on it. The front end has spacers to bring the tires out to be aligned with the rears.This has been bugging me cause I really didn't think dodge ever made a single rear wheel 3500 in a 2nd gen body style.

It is a little loud with the windows down, but with the windows up you hear the turbo more then the exhaust. Either way it isn't too bad. no worse then wind noise really unless you are speeding up quick.Stacks are fine I just can't stand the fact that I can't hear what I'm thinking when I am rolling down the road with the passenger window down but then again I don't have a muffler on a IDI so that could be part of the problem (among others).

The truck gets a solid 17 MPG if I don't pay attention to how I drive it. Empty or loaded. I use it alot to pull trailers for hauling off scrap or delivering firewood.
I didn't install the stacks and was kind of unsure about them when I was looking at the truck, but it was about $3500 cheaper then the other ones I had looked and it was in better shape. The stacks do sound good and look pretty good rolling smoke out. I wouldn't install them in a truck myself, but I can live with them. I do drive a semi for work regularly and this isn't the same sound by anymeans, but it does sound pretty good.
So far, about 95% of the time I don't miss the bedspace the stacks take up considering I was used to a ranger bed before this it has alot of space.
If you have any other questions I will try to do my best to answer them.
Thank you for stating that, I was about to tear into someone about this...The truck is a true 3500 (1 ton). This particular truck wasn't a single rear tire truck factory.
