I don't view my truck as a lead zeppelin at all. I get nearly double the MPG that most guys get with diesel pickups this size and nearly triple what one-ton gas pigs get.

Yeah, I haven't gotten to 30 MPG yet. I gotta work on my aero package but I think the gearing is there. Phil Knox' strictly aero work success should get me motivated.

My truck does not have a 9 inch. It has a Sterling 10.25 inch rear axle.
