Answer 1

Assuming it's all stock

Under 100,000 miles with 4:10 Gears
City: 10-13 MPG
Highway: 14-15 MPG

Over 100,000 miles with 4:10 Gears
City: 12-14
Highway: 15-16

Under 100,000 miles with 3:55 Gears
City: 10-12
Highway: 17-19

Over 100,000 miles with 3:55 Gears
City: 12-15
Highway: 18-21

Auto or Manual they always seemed close.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, since this vehicle is immune to the EPA's ratings, mpg ratings don't exist for this model. Although, I would expect around 16-18 on the highway at 70 mph, and around 14-15 in the city. Much better than a similar gasoline model would get.

Answer 3

have 99 dodge powers out at 60 pulling a grade its a 350 transmission stalls out like a governor has 410 gears or 411
what can I do to move the power range up the transmission viberrates do I change gears in front and back are should I put injectors or what

Answer 4

I have one, with 4 10 gears, and a chip in it. We get about 14 to 15 mpg. Ive heard others that say they get 18. My husband drives it most of the time, and he is really hard on it, I bet you'll get better mpgs than mine.

Go for it, Ive have mine since new, wouldnt give it up for anything.

P.S.
Watch for rust on the bottom of the doors and the door sill. Mine is bad, especially the bright red color.

Answer 5
