  gas mpg help

A cat back system may help a small %, but it will take many, many miles to pay for itself. Unless they burn diesel, mopars are not known for MPG's.

Do not remove the CAT. Fines are HUGE!

Best bet is to take the money for a fancy 4" exhaust and buy an old beater box that gets big MPG's. (Geo, Jetta, Cavalier, etc.)

1. Its a Fed thing.
2. 18k GVW gas truck has a CAT too. Look under a gas U-Haul. Everything on the road has Fed emissions minimums. OEM equipment must be intact.
3. 18k plates on a 6500 GVW truck won't fly with the DMV either.

  gas mpg help

Exactly what I was talking about in my 1st post.

I bought my '86 Jetta 4 years ago for $500. In total with all reapirs and parts I still have less than $1500 in it and it is going strong at near 50 mpg. Best one year winter car I've ever had. Laughing out loud.

No matter how much you try or how much you spend, Doughboy, you will never make your Ram an economical vehicle to commute in.

It is possible to spend alot of money on exhaust systems, synthetic lubes, tires (and wheels) and all kinds of other things which may or may not give a couple of MGP's, at the most, increase. This same money could get you a small car to run as a commuter and get double or triple the MPG's and "save" the commuting miles on the truck at the same time.
