Yep, the coil overs had been done by the prior owner. Rides a bit rough but helps keep that FE up. The grille block was just duct tape to test for any FE improvements.

Definitely keep updating here. I'm looking forward to seeing you get better FE than I did. You downloaded the fuel app, right? The last fill mileage was at 155,993 for your records btw.
Thank you again Rick!

The tape doesn't bother me, just wanting something more permanent. I did download FuelLog, but gonna be waiting for the weather to clear up some before I really start to drive it. Much more comfortable in the truck when it comes to snow and ice.

Currently debating on whether to spring for a ScanGauge II or go with an UltraGauge...decisions decisions. I would really like to get the ball rolling on this, I think it'll be fun tinkering around with it.
