Thanks for the info.. I intend to replace the filters with K&N eventually and the oil at the next oil change. What do you mean by "doing exhaust"?? And are you saying that I should spend more for premium gas to get better MPG??

As for the tire pressure, I check them regular once a week, but I set them to the door pressure .. not the side wall max pressure. I have been wondering about that pressure. Should I check the air pressure when the tire is hot or cold? Setting to max sidewall pressure will not change the ride much on my truck but a couple mpg would be nice if it works. I would love any recommendations for LRR tire for light truck. I have been contemplating using passenger tire also.
