It will improve slightly as the Cummins breaks in. I get about 24 mpg on trips, non-towing...

Installed my Mopar tow hooks today that I found on Ebay a month ago for only $100

There was already a cut line inside the bumper, made it real easy to cut. They look great I'm so happy with how they look and will be there if I need them.

I started with a dremel but it wasn't a very clean cut. Switched to a Jig saw with a fine blade, was very easy. Then filed the edges smooth with a rounded file.

What I did today was move my IAT, pull off my TB cleaned my IAC , checked my plenum gasket for failure . Its got a little bit of oil pooling just along the back wall. So its time to start looking for that aluminum plate fix. Does anyone know of any DF members selling them? I have found old links in past threads but nothing current. Of course there is Hughes ...

couple members used to sell them on ebay, but, I haven't seen them around of late..... worth looking I supposed. Otherwise, Hughes is about the only other option.
