Hello everyone.....Great site. I'm all about the fuel savings even though I have a pretty big truck. I bought this truck 2 years ago and it had a 5 inch turbo back exhaust and a program in it as the only mods. Since then I have added tires/wheels, leveling kit, cool air intake, grid heater delete, intake horn, smarty revo programmer. When I bought it I was getting 18-24mpg hand calculated depending on driving conditions and habbits. When I did the leveling kit to raise front 2.5 inches and then added the 325/55R22 my mileage dropped approx 2-3mpg overall. I did all the intake mods in hopes of gaining some of that back as well as changed my driving habits some. As of now my mileage is 17-21mpg. I started a new job where I am driving 130/day mostly highway and have yet to fill the tank to calculate my mileage. It is looking promising so far. My old job was 40 miles/day and about 50% highway and 50% slow/stop/go. I joined this site in hopes of gaining some efficient driving tips and learning about aero mods as these should help my rig out a ton.
