I have a friend who owns an 01 3500 w/ Cummins that is asking how he can get
better fuel mileage. He currently gets about 13mpg. The truck is an AT w/
4.10 gearing. Since my 00 gets 19.5mpg or so, I'm not much help in solving
the MPG problem, since I don't have it.
Anyone have any tips?

A bad IAT sensor can kill the fuel mileage without any other symptoms.

How many miles? Is it a dually? 4X4? If so, around town it probably is what
it is.

That should have a code set IIRC, but will the dash read out have it?
Also, I'm assuming from what you say, the truck will run fine otherwise?

That 4.10 does not help. He has to turn higher RPMS to go the same speed as
everyone else.
On my 2000 2500 with 3.73 rear end I got 21 highway.
With the stock 3.53 was nearly 25MPG

Its a dually, thats all they had in 01 3500's IIRC. Its 4x4, but then so is
mine, and I'm pulling 19.8 avg on trips, where he's doing a best of 13 on
trips.

Good info, I'll pass it along. If the 1.9 mpg improvement that Marco got
(link on Fritz's site) is seen by my friend, he'll definitely be happy.
