[QUOTE="BAR_R, post: 1102250, member: 6749"] 1700 RPM is the magic line for my '09 2500, Quad, 4x4, Auto, LB. Under it, you can get 19-20 empty/14-15 with the cattle trailer if you have a soft foot. If you want/need to run over 65mph it will drop 14 empty/11 full or lower. I had the same truck but an '05 w/5.9. Both bought new and while the 6.7 is a brute but I think I liked the fit and finish of the '05 better. Also, the 5.9 engine while less powerful did alot better on the fuel. One GREAT thing about the '09 is the jake break. I will never own another truck without one of those. It has really came in handy and slows the truck down very well. It has saved my butt more than once with a load on. Also its great for slowing in the snow. I don't haul to GVW often. However, with the price of new diesels I think this rig will be with me quite a while. Oh I have 66k on the '09 and sold the '05 with 135k. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
