My way of thinking is that if the truck is as aero as possible and get as cool air as possible (to a certain point) the mpgs will go up.
Well how much power are you losing- lots or not so much? If you're not deep into the throttle then I don't know why it would matter. But then, I don't have a turbodiesel so you can see what's going on better than I. I have run NA diesels for ag and road so have exposure to them though.
