Let me say this, my one friend has a 2001 3500 4x4 with a 5 speed and 3.54 gears . When he bought it it ran well and he got around 15-16 MPG. His was not a high output 5.9 , his brothers was the same year but his is a high output 5.9 with a 6 speed and 3.54 gears and also a 4x4 , this one runs vary well stock and gets around 16-17 MPG . Eugene got talking to the socalled motor heads and they tell him that he needs to install the big exhaust system . And he tells me that this will gain him fuel milage (yea wright). So he installs this noisey system and drops 750 bucks on it. After about two weeks i asked Eugene how much he gained . Well ah , ah it is about the same as before BUT i need to get a tuner and that will really help the mileage . So he drops another 750 bucks on having it installed . About tow weeks go by and i asked him the same question are you getting better mileage??? and i get well ah it is about the same . Well lets see here ya dropped 1500 bucks and it is still the same wright ?? just think how muck fuel 1500 buck would have bought , BUT on the plus side his truck runs better to a point and here is where the down side comes in he has installed TWO SOUTH BEND clutches with the second one slipping again he might as well use a zipper on the transmission as it has been in and out now i do not know how many times . And third gear scynro is on the way out again. Myself i have a 95 Dodge 3500 5.9 with a 5 speed with 4.10 gears and wishing i had 3.54's but not to the point of ripping out the 4.10 and doing a swap. Just don't get off doing that stuff anymore even though i have all the tools to do them. Around here it is hard to find a unmolested Dodge with a Cummin. Yes mine is tweaked a little . Ya was to improve fuel mileage on yours then pull the valve covers and adjust the valves. If you do not know how to do a 5.9 then take it to Cummins and let them set them the correct way . They need done every so often.
