Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500

Congrats on the shop go-ahead!

The 5.9l is a darn good engine. In a 2wd application with the weight of an AD truck and an overdrive transmission behind it, it should get around 18 mpg. My Clifford got that as an average between city and highway. If I kept it at 55 on the highway, I could get 21. And this was with a Ram 1500 extended cab that weighed damn near 2 ton.
