Just an update, changes in circumstances have me driving this truck more than before. I had some more aggressive tires on the truck, and was getting 13-15 MPG with those tires. I swapped on a pair on LT265/75R16 Uniroyal Laredo’s I had with a more street-able tread pattern. Driving the truck around on these tires I have gotten two tanks of 17+ MPG.
I am now focusing on making some more improvements to this truck. I de-cranked the front torsion bar adjusters to get the CV angles flat, took about an inch of lift out of the front. I also ordered some odds and ends parts, and last night installed a factory air dam on the bumper, as the previous one had been removed by the prior owner. I am hoping those two mods will put me at over 18MPG.
My new short term goal for the truck is to consistently hit 20+ MPG, which I think will be fairly achievable.
