I do like the looks of the air tabs. I'will check into them.
I havent driven this truck more than 200 miles since I bought it.
The MPG is largly unknown.
I almost took these things off the truck.


I was told not to touch them as they are supposed to help greatly in the transistional air flow from cab to box.
I will get air dam done before my big trip. maybe I can fix that gap between the bumper and front end. I'm thinking of sticking lights in the larger bumper holes. the upper holes are for the tow hooks.
Side Skirts will get done but it will be after I get back from this years trip.
I am planning skirts that also have a floor. I seen these done like that over at truckconversion.net and they look very nice.
I got my shorter rear tires installed yesterday and I must say the gearing is exactly like I wanted it to be.
Now to get the truck level I have to drop the front 2.5 or 3 inches. I'll have this done in the next week.

Something I am thinking about is making the air dam and then installing it at my first fuel stop which I think will be somewhere close to St. Louis.
The way i am going to make it is to have it bolted on to the lower part of the radiator support. which is like 6 inches behind the bumper.
