I own a 2001 Dodge with a V-10. When I haul loads it gets 6 miles per gallon. 9-10 miles on a good day when empty. I bought it with 24,000 miles on it and it has always used a little coolant. About a half gallon per month. I had it dye tested and found that both heads need replaced at a cost of $3,500 to me. The dealer said that he has seen this problem in another V-10, and it is because the material that the head is made from is too poorus,(I hope I spelled it right). Neeedless to say, I just chek the coolant often and haven"t had any problems. My wife use to drive it to work at a cost of $150.00 a week in gas. I parked it and she bought a car that gets 24 miles per gallon with the money she saves in gas. That engine guzzles gas like crazy, and I wish I had bought the Cummins Diesel instead. But you live and learn. Just my 2 cents. Mike.
